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.

Perfume burner Venice, circa 1590-1610 Gilt bronze and copper H 29 x W 20 cm Studied by Manlio Leo Mezzacasa, 9 September 2019 Provenance: Pietro Toesca collection, Rome Rare 16th century Venetian object, an object as rare as it is sophisticated in its workmanship in bronze and gilded copper, certainly commissioned by some important lay patron who certainly wanted to emphasise his culture and knowledge of the nearby Eastern culture. Rare examples of objects similar to this one are today exhibited in the most important international museums. The executive quality of fretwork and chiselling have led Professor Manlio Leo Mezzacasa to attribute this 'magical' object to the workshop of one of the most illustrious master sculptors in Venice area.
