nicolas bertin
Nicolas Bertin (Paris, 1668-1736) Achilles entrusted by Thetis to the centaur Chiron, circa 1725 Oil on canvas 62 x 79.5 cm Provenance: private collection, Paris Literature: Thierry Lefrançois, Nicolas Bertin, 1668-1736, Paris, 1981 Nicolas Bertin has begun his career as a painter under the reign of Louis XIV and has ended it under Louis XV. He was part of this pivotal generation of 'Trianon painters' who switched from large historical painting, to smaller pictures – frequently easel paintings, which seduced a new generation of clients. Painting in the early years of the 18th century was ahead of the evolution of society, and it was only during the Regency that France freed itself from the rigorous artistic rules of the end of the reign of Louis XIV. The country undertook reforms and its morals evolved. It was just after this political and artistic revolution that Bertin painted this picture. The choice of theme itself is significant of lighter times: the nymph Thetis entrusts her son Achilles to the centaur Chiron.

Heutink Ikonen
Deesis and Apostle row (four panels) Asia Minor, possibly Smyrna (now Izmir), 17th century Egg tempera with gold leaf on a wooden panel surfaced with gesso and linen 28 x 59 cm, 27.5 x 92 cm, 27 x 102 cm, 27.5 x 67.5 cm A very rare and monumental Deësis ('intercession'), originally a Byzantine composition, in which Christ is depicted centrally as a judge while a number of selected saints are facing him in supplication. In this case, Christ is flanked by the Mother of God and John the Forerunner (the Baptist), with the Apostles at some distance from them. Remarkably, the apostles are not all positioned adjacent to each other, but are interspersed with ornamentation. The panels formed a part of the templon of a modest iconostasis of a church in the region of Asia Minor, possibly from the vicinity of Smyrna (present-day Izmir), where they were displayed directly above the royal doors.

William Hendrik Gispen (Amsterdam 1890-1981 The Hague) Saturnuslamp, Giso n° 2055, 1931 Executed by N.V. Gispen, Culemborg The Netherlands, 1945-1957 Matte brass nickel-plated pendant with an opal glass sphere and two frosted glass discs with bright edges H 105 x Ø 60 cm William Hendrik Gispen was a Dutch designer and manufacturer of modernist furniture and lighting. He was an important representative of the functionalist movement, promoting and selling modern interior designs at the beginning of the 20th century through his salesrooms in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Paris, London and Nottingham. This design was introduced in his lighting-catalogue 29 as n° 66 in 1931. It changed to no. 2055 in 1936, and later on the pendant was called ‘Saturnuslamp’ which means ‘Saturn-lamp’. The possibility to move around the world at high speed in cars, planes, trains but also rockets and space traveling were an inspiration for designers creating futuristic designs at the beginning of the 20th century. W.H. Gispen designed a lamp with two glass disks around an opal glass sphere that looks like the planet Saturn. Lighting by W.H. Gispen is part of the permanent collections of The Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen Rotterdam, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, V&A Museum London, The MOMA in New York and the MFAH in Houston USA.
