During the late 1960s, Springford had come into her own as an artist. She had developed a signature visual vocabulary and a technique of stain painting to go with it, working with thinned paint to create kaleidoscopic, gestural works.

claude corneille de lyon
Claude Corneille de Lyon (The Netherlands, The Hague 1500-1575 Lyon, France) Portrait of a wealthy merchant wearing a fur-lined coat and gold chain, circa 1560 Oil on panel 15 x 18 cm Certificate from Dr. Alexandra Zvereva This painting will be included in the supplement to the artist's forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné This unpublished small portrait fits naturally into the later works of one of the most illustrious portraitists of the French Renaissance. Referred to in contemporary documents by the name of his hometown, La Haye, he later became known simply as 'Corneille' until André Félibien, who believed him to be from the banks of the Rhône, added the name 'Lyon' in the index of his Entretiens. Born and trained in the Netherlands, probably in Flanders, the artist settled in Lyon as early as 1533. There, he succeeded Jean Perréal, the portraitist of Charles VIII and Louis XII, renowned for his intimate portraits with coloured backgrounds. By the mid-1530s, Corneille had gained such fame that he found himself painting the courtiers accompanying the king to Lyon, as well as the Sons and Daughters of France. However, unlike Perréal, his career was not that of a royal artist following the court. He never left Lyon, and his titles of "painter to the Dauphin" and later "painter and ordinary valet to the king" were purely honorary, primarily granting him the privileges of royal officers. The prominent citizens of Lyon, wealthy French and foreign merchants, high-ranking royal officers, well-to-do bourgeois, and magistrates made up the bulk of his clientele. Corneille created small-scale portraits for them, painted in just a few sitting sessions directly onto panels. Intended for family and close associates, these works had no official circulation and existed in only one unique copy, unlike portraits of the nobility, of which Corneille often made replicas that were widely circulated. The subject of this portrait is not a nobleman, despite his evident wealth. His attire is simple, a dark brown-black without any ornamentation, slashing, or jewels. The white ruff of his shirt is not starched. His high cap, fashionable in the 1550s-1560s, lacks a plume, a privilege reserved for the nobility, as it was associated with the feathers adorning knights' helmets. However, the man does possess a certain fortune, as evidenced by his fur-lined cloak of marten with wide lapels and a large gold chain with three rows of links, favoured by the Flemish. The medallion on the chain is cropped by the frame. This is almost certainly a prosperous merchant, eager to demonstrate his success and preserve the memory of his features for his family. The absence of any inscription on the reverse, giving the name of the subject, makes identification impossible, since no replica or engraving exists. Despite previous restorations, particularly to the face and background, the distinctive characteristics of Corneille’s art are clearly visible here, such as the rough sketching of the ear, the sloping shoulders that make the head appear slightly disproportionate to the torso, the treatment of the hair with individual strands, the brilliant irises crossed by an oblique ray of light, and the broader brushstrokes in the clothing.

Silver box in jade Paris, Art Deco Sterling silver, jade W 35 cm - 4400 gr (total weight) Bears retailer's stamp, Boin-Taburet and maker's mark, Henry & Fils Boin-Taburet were formed in 1873 and quickly established themselves as one of Paris's most noteworthy makers & retailers, winning a Gold medal at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle. Arguably their most distinctive work married silver and silver-gilt with other materials including porcelain, marble, and in the case of this stunning Art Deco tureen, jade. Jade was seemingly a less often used material - the only other piece found with a similarly carved jade element was a box that fetched an incredible amount at auction in 2012.

Maggiore also trained the artist Georg Wecker who went on to become Dresden’s ‘court turner for life’ to the elector Augustus of Saxony in 1578. Regarded at the time as a form of advanced mechanical technology, the art of turning in ivory, ebony and rhinoceros horn became a princely pastime for ‘Drechselnder souverän’. Rhinoceros horn objects were regarded as items of great rarity and prestige in Renaissance Europe, but they had been seen as objects of great value with inherent magical properties for well over one thousand years before this time in China, and by the early 17th century Chinese cups and vessels of carved rhino horn were being exported to Europe to meet the demand for exotic curiosities for the cabinets of wealthy collectors.

georges jeanclos
Georges Jeanclos (Paris, 1933-1997) Kamakura, 1991 Terracotta H 30 x W 45 x D 40 cm Provenance: the artist's studio Exhibition: Georges Jeanclos, Élévation, Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud, 25 November 2023-4 March 2024 The Kamakura series was inspired by Georges Jeanclos' trip to Japan, which took him to the country's ancient medieval capital, home to the oldest Japanese Zen gardens. Jeanclos was deeply moved by the beauty and serenity that emanated from these meditative and contemplative landscapes. Upon his return to Paris, these characters were born, sculptures of resilience, ‘monks in meditation, spectators of their inner gardens’ (Tzvetan Todorov). Georges Jeanclos (1933–1997) was one of the great French sculptors of the 20th century. His work was inspired by the traumatic events of the Second World War. To escape the roundups threatening Jews in France, his family had to hide in the woods; he himself, aged around ten, learned to live with the danger of death. In the aftermath of the Liberation, he saw the bodies of former collaborators hanging from lampposts; shortly afterwards, he discovered the skeletal beings who had survived the camps. Decades later, Jeanclos would respond to this formative experience: not by withdrawing into his own experiences, but by opening himself up to the universal, listening to all suffering, past and present; not by depicting horror, but by finding within himself the strength to create beauty. Jeanclos transforms the earth he works with into thin sheets, which he uses to form figures with similar faces, both children and adults, men and women. They are sleepers lying under a sheet of earth; beings enclosed in urns stamped with Hebrew letters taken from prayers for the dead; figures loaded onto boats bound for the other world; kamakuras, meditating monks. Later, he would add Pietàs, Adam and Eve in love, couples brushing against or embracing each other. Jeanclos' images reveal both the insignificance of our person and the indomitable strength of our love; by their mere existence, they help us to live. Tzvetan Todorov

Jan Muller Antiques
Netherlandish School, circa 1500 Triptych with the Crucifixion and scenes from the Passion Oil on panel 51 x 36.5 cm (closed) 51 x 73 cm (open) The gallery is grateful to Dr. Didier Martens for his expertise The Crucifixion with Saint Jerome and Saint Dominic and Scenes from the Passion, Original frame. This triptych depicts Christ on the Cross, flanked by the sorrowful figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist. Kneeling at the foot of the Cross are Saint Jerome and Saint Dominic, the latter holding a rosary. In the landscape beyond unfold several scenes from Christ’s Passion, culminating in the Crucifixion. This version follows the composition preserved in the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh, which originally formed one half of a diptych. Its companion panel, depicting The Coronation of the Virgin, is held in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. The distinctive iconography is closely associated with the Dominican devotion to the Rosary. Surrounding the central Crucifixion are smaller narrative scenes illustrating key moments from the Passion of Christ: • Christ in the Garden of Olives: Following the Last Supper, Christ withdraws to the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. In deep anguish, he prays to be spared his suffering, while ultimately submitting to God’s will. • The Circumcision: According to the Gospel of Luke, this event occurred eight days after Christ’s birth, during the Brit Milah ceremony at which he received his name. • The Flagellation: This scene depicts the scourging ordered by Pontius Pilate, the customary prelude to crucifixion under Roman law. • Christ on the Cold Stone: The pensive Christ sits, crowned with thorns and bearing the marks of his scourging, his head resting in contemplation. This image reflects the influence of the Devotio Moderna, a movement that emphasized Christ’s human suffering as a model for personal devotion.

"A print is a major undertaking, involving fifteen different stages. There are fewer hours of work in a large painting than in a small print; it demands willpower, precision, and hours upon hours of concentration" Miquel Barceló. Painter, sculptor, and ceramist, Miquel Barceló has shown from the beginning a keen curiosity for printmaking techniques. He has experimented with them at various stages of his career, both alone and in collaboration with renowned printers, and continues to practice in a dedicated space in his studio.
