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.
Finch & Co
Workshop of Georg Pfründt (Germany, 1603-1663) Goblet and support raised upon a turned pear-wood base Narwhal, wood South Germany, 17th century H 16.5 cm Provenance: London art market 1960s; private collection Georg Pfründt (1603-1663), born in Franconia, trained under one of the greatest ivory carvers of the Renaissance, Leonard Kern (1588-1662). Moving to Strasbourg in 1639, Pfründt worked in the service of Charles Ludwig, Elector Palatine, and Duke Eberhard VIII of Würtemberg. The goblet is carved in the same style as the equally celebrated 'Nef' favoured by princely courts for their kunstkammer (the 17th century art chamber) developed out of a medieval treasury which in turn became the Renaissance studiolo. The use of narwhal in this cup adds to the sense of rarity and exotica.

This cabinet was made in England in the late eighteenth century and is typical of the furniture inspired by the taste of travellers who, during their Grand Tour of Italy, bought Florentine mosaic work in the Grand Ducal workshops and had it set in made-to-measure cabinets on their return. The landscape panels are linked to those on a cabinet documented as being in the Villa del Poggio Imperiale after 1691. They demonstrate the interest in landscape subjects in the Grand Ducal workshops during the late seventeenth century. Similar types of panels can be found on early eighteenth-century German furniture. Examples include cabinets from Ambras castle, Braunschweig and a desk in the castle at Wiesentheid. This cabinet was exhibited in Los Angeles in 1991 and the cabinet is illustrated in the book The Gilbert Collection – Hardstones
