Heutink Ikonen
Ascension of Christ Russia (Yaroslavl), 17th century Egg tempera with gold leaf on a wooden panel surfaced with gesso and linen 72 x 48.5 cm This monumental icon shows an unusual division of planes. In the upper register, Christ is depicted in a green mandorla that is carried to heaven by two angels. The footprints in the earth beneath the mandorla show how Christ was still standing on the earth shortly before. The disciples left beneath gaze and point upwards in wonder. Noticeably, the disciples are standing before the openings of a cave, a reminder of Christ's resurrection from the grave. Directly below Christ, the Mother of God is depicted, flanked by radiant white angels. She bows her head slightly and raises her hands in prayer and reception - a pose reminiscent of the Annunciation. Just as Mary received her divine child at that time, she now leaves him to return to his heavenly father.

enrico astorri
Enrico Astorri (Italy, 1859-1921) Saltimbanca, circa 1900 White Carrara marble H 122.5 cm (sculpture), total height with original column in Serpentine marble: 212 cm Signed Astorri E. co./Milano This exquisite marble sculpture showcases a young saltimbanca, or female street acrobat, and her monkey, poised atop an intricately wrought drum as they await their next performance. Her countenance radiates a playful innocence and every strand of her hair, carved with striking realism, cascades in a canopy of luxurious curls to frame her face. The girl's relaxed posture on the drum stands as a testament to the artist's mastery of the sculptors art and his attention to nuance in the playful inclusion of a cheeky monkey to accentuate the child's youthfulness and inherent sense of humour. The artist’s unparalleled artistry and expertise is evident in the drum's surface which boasts remarkable attention to detail. From the finely carved cords and the meticulously crafted escutcheons to the texture of the drumhead, particularly the stitching on an old tear, the precision of his work is exquisite. The texture of the girl's clothing and the intricate details of her physique are accentuated by a delicate play of light and shadow, bearing witness to the artist's deep anatomical understanding. The elegantly outstretched leg, lightly suspended in the drum strap, endows the figure with a dynamic, flowing quality which contrasts harmoniously with the tranquillity of her facial expression. The artist leads his audience on a contemplative journey of discovery full of the delight of uncovering subtle details such as the four classic card symbols. Astorri adds his characteristic touch of realism to this majestic piece through the skilfully crafted base. Representing a humble wooden crate resting on a finely sculpted yet rustic net, Astorri adds yet another layer of depth to this masterpiece. ASTORRI or ASTONI, ENRICO was an esteemed Italian sculptor. Born in San Lazzaro Alberoni on 10 March 1859, he passed away in Milan on 15 October 1921. Having initially studied in Parma before moving to Genoa, he ultimately honed his craft in Milan, where he took up residence at an impressively young age. His notable works include the monument to 'Vittorio Emanuele II' in Parma (1879), exhibitions in Turin (1884) featuring the marble statues 'La sérénade' and 'Attraction', and other significant contributions in Milan, Venice, and Bologna throughout the 1880s. His engagements extended to London exhibitions, and his prolificacy was evident in the latter part of the century, with extensive travels and commendations in Uruguay, Argentina, Russia, and beyond. His oeuvre can be found in public collections in Piacenza and Trieste.

ermano stroiffi
Ermanno Stroiffi (Padua 1616-1693 Venice) Saint Peter and Saint John in adoration in front of the infant Jesus Oil on slate 48.5 x 26 cm Provenance: collection Lars Ericsson; Galerie Canesso, Paris This notable slate painting blends two iconographic traditions: the Virgin from a painting by Lelio Orsi, and the image of the profile of the Virgin receiving the blessing of the infant Jesus. The association of these two evangelists is quite unusual, linked to the devotion of the patron. The original figures of the two saints and the child’s traits connected this painting to Ermano Stroiffi’s work, a well-established artist from Padova. He worked under Bernardo Strozzi's guidance in his Venice studio. The researcher Cristante (1997, p. 109) states that he was Giovanni Stroiffi’s son, a renowned Flemish painter established in Padova.
Galerie Mathivet
Claude Lalanne (Paris 1925-2019 Fontainebleau) Pomme d'Or, 1970 18k yellow gold H 10.5 cm Monogrammed CL, numbered 3/5, guarantee hallmark Provenance: André Mourgues; Alexandre Iolas collection (Alexandre Iolas, a dealer who was a great supporter of the Surrealists and the New Realists) Claude Lalanne's world is poetic. She moulds bodies, leaves, apples and cabbages, then combines them. Her creations include L'Homme à tête de chou, La Pommebouche and L'Escargot doigt. These pieces are dreamlike, reminiscent of the Baroque world. Yves Saint Laurent, one of her most loyal customers, said: "What moves me about her is that she has managed to combine craftsmanship and poetry in the same exacting way. Her beautiful sculptor's hands seem to push aside the mists of mystery to reach the shores of art". This 'pomme bouche' could also be reminiscent of the world of Magritte...
