joris van son
Joris Van Son (Antwerp, 1623-1667) Flower and fruit garland around a cartouche Oil on canvas 65 x 50 cm Provenance: Queen Desideria of Sweden (1777-1860) Joris Van Son was a seventeenth-century Antwerp painter who was strongly influenced by the work of Jan Davidsz. De Heem (a Northern Netherlandish painter who was active in Antwerp in the 1630'ies). Together with Nicolaes Veerendael, Jan Van Kessel and Daniël Seghers, he was one of the main protagonists of Flemish (Antwerp) floral still life art from the mid-seventeenth century. Amongst his pupils were Frans van Everbroeck, Jan Pauwel Gillemans the Younger, Cornelis van Huynen, Norbert Montalie and Abraham Herderwijn. Van Sons preferred two important categories in the genre of flower and fruit still lifes: garlands ('cartouches') and so-called 'pronkstillevens' ('showy still lifes'). The 'cartouche' was often filled with the image of a Saint or a portrait. This by another painter, usually specialised in figures (for example Cornelis Schut, Erasmus Quellinus or Frans II Francken). The fact that our 'cartouche' remained empty in the center indicates that Van Son created this work as a coastal work 'in itself'. The quality is excellent and Van Son not only shows off his in-depth knowledge of the flora and fruits, but also his great sense of sensitivity, detail and colour. Striking is the powerful sculpted cartouche (with a male head bellow) in grisaille, in contrast with the bright fruits and flowers. This work has an interesting provenance: in the early nineteenth century it was owned by Desideria, Queen of Sweden and Norway (1777-1860).

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (Utrecht, 1888-1964) Original ‘Red Blue chair’ Designed in 1919/1923 Executed by G.A. van de Groenekan, circa 1970, De Bilt, The Netherlands Frame; solid beech wood slats with beech wood dowels, stained dark brown/black, the ends finished with chromate yellow paint.

Back: plywood finished monochrome with vermilion red paint H 86 x W 65.9 x D 82.5 cm The chair is marked with the paper label of Rietveld’s regular cabinet maker, Gerard van de Groenekan Provenance: from the first owner Architect Ruud Wilmink from Amsterdam. At the end of his architecture studies, he personally ordered the chair from Gerard van de Groenekan in De Bilt around 1970 for the furnishing of his first home In 1919, architect Gerrit Rietveld joined the legendary ‘De Stijl’ group, an esthetic movement founded by Dutch artists and architects two years earlier. Inspired by the work of his fellow ‘De Stijl’ member Bart van der Leck, Rietveld started experimenting with the use of primary colors in the designs for furniture around 1921-1922. Probably about 1923 – a hundred years ago! – he made the first copy of his wooden-slat easy-chair using Red Yellow and Blue, the color scheme that would bring the chair its world fame as an icon of De Stijl movement.
