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.

francisco de zurbarán
Francisco de Zurbarán (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz 1598-1664 Madrid) Still Life of Lent Oil on canvas 62.5 x 82.5 cm Provenance: private collection, Madrid, Spain; collection of Cardinal Despuig (1745-1813), Palacio de Montenegro, Palma de Mallorca [inv. n° 71]; Truyols collection (from 1972), Palma de Mallorca Francisco de Zurbarán, one of the foremost figures of the Spanish Baroque is renowned for his masterful works. Among them, 'Still Life of Lent' stands as a testament to his artistic genius. In this intriguing composition, Zurbarán skillfully brings to life a multitude of objects emerging from the shadows of an enigmatic, undefined background- captivating the viewer in the interplay of light. This masterpiece, dating back to the 1600s, has a fascinating history. It was once part of the esteemed collection of Antonio Despuig Dameto (1745-1813), the son of the Count and Countess of Montenegro y Montoro. During the tumultuous era of Napoleon's annexation of the Pontifical States to the French Empire, Despuig faced arrest and was transported to Paris, leaving behind this remarkable artwork. Astonishingly, 'Still Life of Lent' remained within the Despuig family's collection throughout the centuries. Through intensive scientific examination, Zurbarán's hidden signature beneath layers of the canvas has been uncovered, offering us a unique glimpse into Zurbarán's mastery and the rich historical tapestry that surrounds it.

alexander calder
Alexander Calder (Lawnton 1898-1976 New York) Untitled, 1967 Gouache on paper 77 x 110.5 Signed and dated N° Archive A18199 Provenance: private collection, Paris Calder's gouaches are spontaneous and simple, suffused with poetry. A poetry without artifice born from minimal means, such as elementary symbols, basic figures and a palette reduced to primary colours, arranged in solid colours that do not blend with each other. The gouaches are not that different from his "mobiles," except that here, the movement is imagined: a way of projecting time in space. In 1953, Calder moved to Saché where he created "la Gouacherie," where he made all his works on paper until 1976, as well as his mobiles and stabiles. "Alexander Calder possesses a clear gift of observation and the ability to draw a single stroke."
