jan brueghel the younger
Jan Brueghel The Younger (Antwerp, 1601-1678) Bouquet of flowers in a Wan-Li porcelain vase, late 1620s Oil on panel 56 x 40.5 cm Certificate from Dr. Klaus Ertz Provenance: De Jonckheere, 1985; private collection Symbolising the ties between China and Europe in the seventeenth century, this elegant floral composition bears witness to the talent of Jan Brueghel the Younger. One of the finest floral painters of his time, he combined an unaffected opulence with sober compositions. The finesse of the flowers and the harmonious colours are the hallmarks of his delicate hand and brilliant observation. Working for many years in the family workshop, which he took over upon his father's death, Jan Brueghel the Younger was able to familiarise himself with the various models. Although his style was influenced by his father, he nevertheless took liberties, as is the case here in this Bouquet of flowers in a Wan-Li Porcelain Vase.

Jean Baptiste Joseph De Bay (Nantes 1802-1862 Paris) Le Génie de la Marine, 1832 White Carrara marble, finely carved H 101 x W 48 x D 85 cm Signature engraved on the boat's anchor: JEAN DEBAY Executed in Rome in 1832 Provenance: 1832, Rome; 1832 (June, Paris, Exposition at Petits-Augustins; 1833, Paris, Exposition at Salon de Paris; 1833, Mr. Hoppe Collection, Amsterdam; 1833-2010, private collection Literature: S. Lami (1916). Dictionnaire des sculpteurs de l'école française au dix-neuvième siècle, Paris, Librairie Ancienne Honoré Champion Edouard Champion, tome 2, pp. 126-132; A. Lenormand (1981), La Tradition classique et l’Esprit romantique. Les Sculpteurs de l’Académie de France à Rome de 1824 à 1840, Rome, Edizioni dell'Elefante, 1981 Exhibitions: 1832, Rome; 1832 (June), Paris, Exposition at the Petits-Augustins; 1833, Paris, Exposition at the Salon de Paris This masterful work entitled 'Le Génie de la Marine' is the work of the talented French sculptor Jean Baptiste Joseph De Bay. An emblem of marine allegory, the sculpture depicts a daring Cupid, bravely sailing against the currents on a delicate shell-shaped craft. In a posture of determination, Cupid steers his boat with an oar while seated on a folded sail, which envelops an ink at his feet. This representation of the Cupid's determination to follow his own course and speed without wishing to stop may allude to the persistence of love against all odds. Designed in Rome in 1832, this exquisite marble sculpture was later exhibited, albeit unfinished, at the Petits-Augustins in Paris. It was finally presented in all its splendour at the Paris Salon the following year, where it attracted the attention of the famous Amsterdam banker, Monsieur Hoppe. Jean Baptiste Joseph De Bay, better known as Jean De Bay, was born in Nantes on 31 August 1802. The son of a renowned sculptor and a pupil of Baron Bosio, De Bay quickly established himself as an emblematic figure of nineteenth-century French sculpture. After training at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1820, where he won numerous awards including the prestigious Prix de Rome, the sculptor succeeded in establishing himself in the art of bas relief and ronde bosse. Equally at ease working in marble and bronze, Jean De Bay contributed to numerous national projects, notably for the Louvre Palace and the Hôtel de Ville in Paris. Several of his works are also preserved at the Musée de Versailles. Many of his works can be found in various French museums, testifying to his artistic genius. This great sculptor died a few years later at his home in Paris on 7 January 1862.

Hairs related this work to work 'n° 119' from Daniel Seghers' inventory. This work was described in the diary of Philippe Chifflet (from the entourage of Cardinal Infante Ferdinand of Spain). Chifflet noted that Ferdinand visited Seghers in his studio where this work was presented to him (See: G. Wilmers, Corneli Schut (1597-1655): a Flemish Painter of the High Baroque, Belgium 1996, pp. 172-73). This is a great collaboration between two specialists in their genre: Schut's free 'Rubenesque' figuration is broken by Segher's hyperrealism and bright use of colour. Although the two painters retain their individuality and their own style, they reinforced each other in this work and built a composition together. (Schut and Seghers worked together several times during this period, resulting in several cartouches with putti).
Galerie Bernard De Leye
Head of Saint Janvier known as San Gennaro Naples, (Italy), 18th century Silver gilt H 15 x W 11.8 cm - Weight: 696 gr. Saint Janvier is the patron saint of the city of Naples. The head is made from a thick sheet of silver that is entirely hammered, embossed and chased. The pathos of the face expresses the mystical vision typical of Italian Baroque taste. The rendering of the face is highly expressive. This head is executed in the purest tradition of the reliquary busts found in Naples at the beginning of the eighteenth century in the treasury of the cathedral of San Gennaro (Treasure of Saint Janvier).
