Ralph Gierhards Antiques / Fine Art
Marie Tassaert (Antwerp, 1642-after 1665) A garland of fruit surrounding a bust of Bacchus in a stone niche, 17th century Oil on canvas within a carved giltwood frame 85 x 69.5 cm Provenance: private collection, Namur (Belgium) Related works: A comparable oil on canvas of similar size (63.5cm x 53.5cm) and subject entitled 'A still life with a garland of fruit suspended from blue ribbons and a goblet in a niche', signed by Marie Tassaert, has recently been acquired by an important international Museum from the Rafael Valls gallery in London. It is interesting to note the similar composition of fruit garlands surrounding a central niche. The fruits and leaves on both paintings are identical and clearly painted by the same hand, as is the stone niche, up to and including the identical 'trompe l’oeil' cracks in the stone.

ermano stroiffi
Ermanno Stroiffi (Padua 1616-1693 Venice) Saint Peter and Saint John in adoration in front of the infant Jesus Oil on slate 48.5 x 26 cm Provenance: collection Lars Ericsson; Galerie Canesso, Paris This notable slate painting blends two iconographic traditions: the Virgin from a painting by Lelio Orsi, and the image of the profile of the Virgin receiving the blessing of the infant Jesus. The association of these two evangelists is quite unusual, linked to the devotion of the patron. The original figures of the two saints and the child’s traits connected this painting to Ermano Stroiffi’s work, a well-established artist from Padova. He worked under Bernardo Strozzi's guidance in his Venice studio. The researcher Cristante (1997, p. 109) states that he was Giovanni Stroiffi’s son, a renowned Flemish painter established in Padova.
