Heutink Ikonen
Mother of God Hodegetria of Smolensk Russia, second half of the 17th century Egg tempera on gesso on linen-covered wood 31.5 x 27 cm The Mother of God Hodegetria is one of the oldest known iconographies. The oldest surviving image is a miniature from the 7th or 8th century from Syria. The icon is characterised as a Lucas icon, which according to legend was painted by the evangelist Luke, during the lifetime of the Mother of God. This icon is painted in a very classical, Byzantine style. It is reminiscent to the statues and portraits of old Roman emperors and gods.

Shirley Jaffe (USA, Elizabeth 1923-2016 Louveciennes, France) Untitled, circa 1955 Oil on canvas 174.5 x 101.5 x 4 cm Provenance: the Artist’s studio; Estate of Shirley Jaffe; Galerie Nathalie Obadia Dated circa 1955, Shirley Jaffe's Untitled is a work that is both remarkable and characteristic of this decisive decade, for its composition of bursts of small, independent brushstrokes that coalesce into irregular blocks. These shapes, composed of countless brushstrokes and sometimes evoking natural forms, are inserted into surfaces that are more modulated than before, and in which patches of local color appear. Fine glazes and dramatic shifts from light to dark contribute to the luminous transparency of her works from the 1950s, which seem flooded with a beautiful, roborative clarity. At the time, Shirley Jaffe was looking for “the moment in a painting that was unusual”. The important thing, for her, was to “bring the forms out of the background, while constantly tilting the balance”. In her works from this period, she often succeeded in giving the impression that shapes emanate naturally from the application of paint, and that compositions become unstable, sometimes radically so. This text appears in Raphaël Rubinstein's 2014 catalog Les Formes de la Dislocation. This work has never been exhibited.

chaumet
a magnificent art deco diamond tiara by chaumet.
This tiara was made in Paris in 1909 as a wedding tiara for the daughter of Count and Countess de Heeren. Chaumet retains all the original drawings, as well as the nickel silver model created as a preliminary design for the final piece, which is preserved in the Chaumet archives. The tiara features a series of rounded Greek motifs, set with 2096 diamonds, mounted in platinum and gold, showcasing the typical ‘mille-grain’ finish. Founded in 1780, Chaumet has designed over 2,000 unique tiaras. While most tiaras from that era adhered to the Garland style or traditional 19th-century floral and scroll motifs, this particular piece is an early example of the geometric aesthetics that would come to define the Art Deco period, which reached its zenith in the 1920s. The tiara was featured in the ‘Chaumet en Majesté’ exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco in 2019, where the nickel silver model was also displayed. The tiara is currently housed in a special Chaumet case, created for the Monaco exhibition. Total diamond weight: 28,10 carats Collection Epoque Fine Jewels, Belgium.

This magnificent panel depicting Cleopatra, painted by Alexandre Sandier, is one such example. Its vivid yet soft and pleasing colours combine with a meticulous sense of archaeological detail to produce a masterly lesson in Egyptomania, bearing witness to the fascination that Egypt still exerted at the end of the century for artists and audiences alike.
