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.

Heutink Ikonen

Ascension of Christ Russia (Yaroslavl), 17th century Egg tempera with gold leaf on a wooden panel surfaced with gesso and linen 72 x 48.5 cm This monumental icon shows an unusual division of planes. In the upper register, Christ is depicted in a green mandorla that is carried to heaven by two angels. The footprints in the earth beneath the mandorla show how Christ was still standing on the earth shortly before. The disciples left beneath gaze and point upwards in wonder. Noticeably, the disciples are standing before the openings of a cave, a reminder of Christ's resurrection from the grave. Directly below Christ, the Mother of God is depicted, flanked by radiant white angels. She bows her head slightly and raises her hands in prayer and reception - a pose reminiscent of the Annunciation. Just as Mary received her divine child at that time, she now leaves him to return to his heavenly father.
