Heutink Ikonen
‘Weep not for Me, Mother’ Russia, mid 17th century Egg tempera on gesso on linen-covered wood 31 x 26 cm Provenance: private collection, Belgium; Morsink Ikonen, Amsterdam Among the most moving images of Orthodox art is the icon known as ‘Weep Not for Me, Mother’. Its title is drawn from the liturgy of Holy Saturday, where Christ addresses his grieving mother from the tomb: 'Weep not for Me, O Mother... for I shall arise and be glorified…' The icon depicts a moment between the crucifixion and the Resurrection: the profound silence of Holy Saturday. Christ stands or rises from the tomb, whilst the Mother of God tenderly embraces him and mourns for him. The intensity of their encounter lends the image an extraordinary emotional power. Although the scene may remind Western viewers of the Pietà, its spiritual focus is different. Whilst the Pietà centres on the grief of the Blessed Virgin, ‘Weep Not for Me, Mother’ looks forward to Easter and the promise that death does not have the final say.
Epoque Fine Jewels
Van Cleef & Arpels Art Deco bracelet, circa 1925 Platinum and diamonds Total diamond weight: approx. 30 ct Signed Van Cleef & Arpels and numbered The rhythmic, continuous wave motif creates a strong sense of movement and symmetry, characteristic of the refined geometric elegance of the Art Deco period. The dynamic repetition of the wave forms evokes the era’s fascination with speed, progress and technological innovation, reflecting the visual language of the Machine Age, in which streamlined motion and modern engineering inspired both architecture and the decorative arts. This impression of forward movement is reinforced by the uninterrupted horizontal flow of the design, giving the bracelet a distinctly modern and energetic presence. Executed in platinum, the bracelet displays exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous stone setting, allowing maximum brilliance while preserving the lightness of the openwork structure. The scroll-like abstraction of natural forms into repeating patterns exemplifies the Art Deco ideal of transforming organic movement into elegant modern geometry.
