'Decor for Erwartung' is a study for the fourth scene of the drama. In this scene, the female protagonist, desperately searching for her lover, comes across a road in the middle of a forest. To her horror, she discovers his lifeless body lying beside a lonely house. Brusselmans’ distinctive painting style, characterised by its return to simplicity and its deliberately alienated figures, makes it remarkably easy to imagine what the stage sets must have looked like during the actual performance. The work offers the viewer an endless source of imagination. Combined with the fascinating history behind its creation, these qualities make 'Decor for Erwartung' an absolute masterpiece.

Guy Pieters Gallery
Pierre Alechinsky (Brussels, 1927) Paysage impressionné, 1959 Oil on canvas 205 x 289 cm Certificate of authenticity by the artist dated 5 September 2025, and will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné under n° 324 Provenance: Paolo Marinotti collection, Milan; Toninelli Arte Moderna, Milan; private collection, United Kingdom Pierre Alechinsky’s ‘Paysage impressionné’, executed in 1959, is a large oil painting from an important early period in the artist’s career. Painted after the CoBrA movement had dissolved, it reflects his interest in spontaneous, expressive forms, a vivid sense of movement and the freedom of the brush. The lively brushwork and interplay of colours give the painting a sense of movement, while the broad composition feels balanced and harmonious. This combination of energy and control makes the work especially engaging.

Caretto & Occhinegro
Jan Provoost (Mons 1465-1529 Bruges) Crucifixion with a view of the city of Bruges, circa 1512-1515 Oil on panel 31.5 x 25 cm Expertise by Peter van den Brink Active primarily in Bruges between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, Provoost centered his art on a formidable capacity for aesthetic synthesis, marked by highly intellectual nuances and an unmistakable solemn style capable of blending diverse influences, from Van Eyck to Antonello da Messina. A shining example of this is this small Calvary, where three modernly minimalist figures are arranged with skillful geometry against a meticulously detailed view of the city of Bruges stretching out behind them. While Provoost explored this subject in other versions, always incorporating detailed cities in the background, none features such a precise and topographical view of Bruges. Indeed, one can readily recognize the belfry of the Church of Our Lady, the now-lost architectural structure of the Jerusalem Chapel of Bruges (still intact at the time), and the tower of the city's town hall.

Chrysler Jr., Dayton Art Institute, 25 March-22 May 1960, p. 102, n° 94 (ill.) Painted in 1906, Bucolique d’Automne is one of the most eloquent expressions of Maurice Denis’s vision of a modern Golden Age. Set in an orchard at Le Pouldu, on the Breton coast so closely associated with the Nabis, the composition brings together a nursing mother, a reclining nude and a group of children gathering fallen apples beneath a laden tree. Beyond the foliage, a glimpse of the sea opens onto a landscape bathed in golden light. The painting belongs to Denis’s so-called ‘classical moment’, a period marked by increasingly rigorous compositions and a more luminous, vibrant palette, at times recalling the intensity of Matisse’s Fauvist colours. Here, ochres, vermilions and deep greens combine in a shimmering, almost mosaic-like interplay. The garden becomes an emblem of fertility and motherhood: the fruit-bearing tree echoes the nurturing female body, while the children reinforce the image of nature as a source of life and renewal. Modelled by Denis’s wife Marthe, the nude combines quiet sensuality with a vision of feminine beauty, lending the scene an atmosphere of serenity. First exhibited at the 1906 Salon de la Société nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, alongside Denis’s monumental Baigneuses au petit temple or Plage au bonnet rouge (Pouldu), now in Lausanne, Bucolique d’Automne subsequently featured in some of the most significant international exhibitions of its time: the 15th Exhibition of the Berlin Secession (1908), the Internationale Kunstschau in Vienna (1909), and the International Art Exhibition of the Munich Secession (1911). Its provenance is equally distinguished. Acquired directly from the artist in 1906 by Baron Eberhard von Bodenhausen, co-founder of the influential art journal PAN and a prominent collector of contemporary French painting, the work later passed through the galleries of Bernheim-Jeune and Philippe Reichenbach before entering the collection of Walter P. Chrysler Jr. A remarkable synthesis of Nabi modernity and classical idealism, Bucolique d’Automne marks a defining moment in Denis’s career, bringing together the decorative freedom of his early years and his enduring pursuit of compositional harmony and timeless beauty.

Heutink Ikonen
Two angels of the Lord Central Russia, circa 1800 Ø 44 cm Provenance: private collection, Germany This remarkable icon depicts two angels, each holding a ripidion - a ceremonial liturgical fan symbolising the constant presence of the seraphim around the altar, which is used during processions and other solemn occasions in the Eastern liturgy. Given its distinctive shape and subject, it is likely that the icon formed part of a church iconostasis, where it would probably have been positioned to the right of the royal doors, which provided access to the altar area.
