arnould de vuez
Arnould De Vuez (Saint-Omer 1644-1720 Lille) Jacob and Ésaü reconciliation, circa 1678 Oil on canvas 105 x 137 cm Provenance: private collection, Périgord since 1920; by inheritance, the artist's descendants; fonds d'atelier d'Arnould Vuez Arnould de Vuez, a key Flemish historical painter of the second half of the 17th century, was trained by Claude François in his Parisian studio, himself trained by Simon Vouet. The master sent his pupil to Italy so he could get the finest education surrounded by Old Master works. He won the first prize of the Roman Saint Luc Academy in 1677. In 1681, Arnould de Vuez was received at the Royal Academy of Paintings and Sculpture for the alliance between France and Bavaria allegory (Louvre Museum). A decade later, in 1692, he was commissioned by the brotherhood of goldsmiths to paint the « Mays » of Notre-Dame picturing the disbelief of Saint Thomas (Lyon, Saint Jean Primatial). In 1694, soon after Charles Le Brun’s death, with whom he collaborated in Versailles, Arnould de Vuez established himself in Lille where he was commissioned with great orders. He was in charge of the religious monuments, in which he blends Poussin’s classicism lessons, Le Brun inspiration and Rubens influence. His work is characterized by a structured composition, retained drapery and a taste for orthogonal lines. Poussin’s influence should be noted in this frieze composition, as well as the Italian Masters, such as the young men’s head copied from the Athen’s school by Raphael.

Marcel trained as a jeweller, creating jewelry and vase mounts for the gallery, and took over its management upon his father's death in 1905. The shop and its owners were so influential in their day that it was from the name of this Parisian Shop 'La Maison Art Nouveau Bing' that the entire 'Art Nouveau' movement got its name. Bing(s importance in the development of the Art Nouveau movement cannot be over-stated.

Hairs related this work to work 'n° 119' from Daniel Seghers' inventory. This work was described in the diary of Philippe Chifflet (from the entourage of Cardinal Infante Ferdinand of Spain). Chifflet noted that Ferdinand visited Seghers in his studio where this work was presented to him (See: G. Wilmers, Corneli Schut (1597-1655): a Flemish Painter of the High Baroque, Belgium 1996, pp. 172-73). This is a great collaboration between two specialists in their genre: Schut's free 'Rubenesque' figuration is broken by Segher's hyperrealism and bright use of colour. Although the two painters retain their individuality and their own style, they reinforced each other in this work and built a composition together. (Schut and Seghers worked together several times during this period, resulting in several cartouches with putti).

karel appel
Karel Appel (Amsterdam 1921-2006 Zurich) Untitled, 1960 Oil on canvas 81 x 116 cm Signed and dated lower right Written confirmation of the work's authenticity Provenance: private collection Karel Appel was a Dutch painter, avid sculptor, and one of the founders of the avant-garde CoBrA movement in 1948. Born in the Netherlands, he began painting at the age of fourteen. Recognised for his ironic imagery, bold brushstrokes and energetic use of colour, Appel’s work received both broad critical acclaim and unfavourable criticisms. Known for his figurative abstractions and expressive colours, Appel found inspiration in the artwork of children and the rejection of sophisticated aesthetic tastes. He was drawn to the animated, primitive style of Jean Dubuffet in the years following the isolated, repressive environment of WWII in Amsterdam. In a childlike manner, painted in thick, black lines against a background of primary colours, Appel's unique style is immediately discernible in Untitled, 1960.

jan brueghel the younger
Jan Brueghel The Younger (Antwerp, 1601-1678) Bouquet of flowers in a Wan-Li porcelain vase, late 1620s Oil on panel 56 x 40.5 cm Certificate from Dr. Klaus Ertz Provenance: De Jonckheere, 1985; private collection Symbolising the ties between China and Europe in the seventeenth century, this elegant floral composition bears witness to the talent of Jan Brueghel the Younger. One of the finest floral painters of his time, he combined an unaffected opulence with sober compositions. The finesse of the flowers and the harmonious colours are the hallmarks of his delicate hand and brilliant observation. Working for many years in the family workshop, which he took over upon his father's death, Jan Brueghel the Younger was able to familiarise himself with the various models. Although his style was influenced by his father, he nevertheless took liberties, as is the case here in this Bouquet of flowers in a Wan-Li Porcelain Vase.

Adriaen van Ostade (Haarlem, 1610-1685) Interior of a barn with peasants-An allegory of smell Oil on panel 17 x 24 cm Signed and dated middle centre: Av ostade 1637 Provenance: private collection; Floris van Wanroij Fine Art; private collection, Remscheid, Germany Literature: Krol, A.E., Musée de l’Ermitage. Peinture de l’Europe occidentale. Leningrad (Hermitage), 1981, vol. II, p. 155 In his charming and amusing painting Adriaen van Ostade, like his contemporaries David Teniers the Younger and Adriaen Brouwer, depicted a scene from the everyday life of the peasant classes. At the same time it forms an allegory, that of the sense of smell. A variation on this composition by Van Ostade is kept in the collection of the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg (inv. n° 999)
