Head of Saint Janvier known as San Gennaro Naples, (Italy), 18th century Silver gilt H 15 x W 11.8 cm - Weight: 696 gr. Saint Janvier is the patron saint of the city of Naples. The head is made from a thick sheet of silver that is entirely hammered, embossed and chased. The pathos of the face expresses the mystical vision typical of Italian Baroque taste. The rendering of the face is highly expressive. This head is executed in the purest tradition of the reliquary busts found in Naples at the beginning of the eighteenth century in the treasury of the cathedral of San Gennaro (Treasure of Saint Janvier).

Floris van Wanroij Fine Art
Relief with the The Flight into Egypt and Miracles during the Journey (Matthew 2:13) Low countries, possibly Antwerp, Renaissance, last quarter of the 16th century, circa 1590 Pear-wood, carved in high relief, on later brass base H 19.6 x W. 16.8 cm (excl. base) Provenance: Jan Dirven Works of Art, Eindhoven, The Netherlands; collection Dreesmann-Houtkooper, The Netherlands; thence by decent private collection, Breda, The Netherlands Literature: Schuckman, Christiaan (1996). Hollstein's Dutch & Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts 1450-1700, vol. XLIV: Maarten De Vos. Rotterdam, p. 65, cat. n° 263 This relief, probably carved in Antwerp, is based on a design by the influential Renaissance artist Maerten de Vos (Antwerp, 1532-1603). The original drawing is kept now in the collection of the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Braunschweig (inv./cat. n° Z. 1086) and is dated shortly before 1579. The drawing was published in engraving by Johannes Sadeler I, as the eighth prints of a twelve-part series on the birth and the first years of Christ. The series was published between 1579-1582 and the current sculpture probably originated shortly afterwards, ca. 1590, which indicates a date of the current sculpture around 1590. The Flight the Holy Family to Egypt, here represented as Joseph on foot and Mary sitting on a donkey with the Christ Child in her arms was, according to tradition, surrounded by miracles. At the top right in a chapel on a tree, a statue of a pegan god breaks in two. At the top left a group of accompanying Angels in the Heavens is depicted and trees bow down their branches in reverence to Christ.

Heutink Ikonen
The Ladder of Divine Ascent Russia (Vyg), circa 1800 Egg tempera with gold leaf on a wooden panel surfaced with gesso and linen 35 x 31 cm This rare iconography is based on the work 'The Ladder of Divine Ascent' by the hermit John Climacus, who lived in the Sinai Desert in the seventh century. The work was a major influence on Orthodox Christianity, comparable to 'The Following of Christ' by Thomas à Kempis in Roman Catholicism. The icon shows how monks may get closer to Christ through several stages of asceticism (steps on the ladder) and ultimately reach heaven. Angels encourage the monks and pray for succour, while to the left of the ladder demons are attempting to lure the monks into succumbing to earthly temptations. The steadfast monk who reaches the top of the ladder is welcomed with open arms by Christ in heaven. The monks who surrender to the temptations of the world fall into the devil's wide-open mouth. The icon was probably meant as a reminder and encouragement for monastics to live a virtuous life.

Piat-Joseph Sauvage (Tournai, 1744-1818) and Sormany, Optician Empire oil on panel with barometer and thermometer, early 19th century Oil on panel, gilded bronze H 87 x W 112 cm Signed: Sauvage et de Sormany, Palais Égalité Provenance: collection of Hubert de Givenchy; Galerie Moatti, Paris, 1994 The rectangular panel painted in trompe l'oeil depicts the allegories of the four seasons beside a sheath surmounted by a globe flanked by two putti, the dial of the enamelled barometer is signed Sormany Palais Egalité, the thermometer inscribed in the sheath is signed Sormany Palais / Egalité n° 260, signed SAUVAGE in the plinth of the sheath, the frame is decorated with stars and stylised palmettes. This barometer-thermometer is a work of collaboration between Piat-Joseph Sauvage, painter and Sormany, optician. Piat-Joseph Sauvage, born in Tournai in Belgium, made a specialty of trompe-l'oeil paintingsat the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century. As a painter and decorator, he provided ornamentation for royal residences at the end of the reign of Louis XVI, such as Compiègne and Fontainebleau and the Hamlet of Marie Antoinette in Versailles, before turning to painting on porcelain and marble, working for the manufacture of Dihl and Guérhard then for that of Sèvres under the Empire. His compositions often represent friezes of putti, bacchanalia, mythological or allegorical scenes. The iconography of the Seasons developed here naturally refers to the function of this object, as a barometer and thermometer. Sormany was an optician installed in the Galerie de Bois of the Royal Palace (Palais Egalité under the Revolution and the Empire), as indicated by the inscriptions on the barometer and the thermometer. The old labels of this Sormany make it possible to describe its activity: "Palais Égalité n° 260 galerie de bois. / N° 260 Sormany opticien successeur de Catanyo vends toute sorte de lunettes (spectacle et autres) et tout ce qui concerne l’optique, mathématique physique et autres objets de curiosités, baromètres, thermomètres et pèse liqueurs. / Le tout à juste prix Paris." He seems to have been particularly recognised for his research on thermometers.
