Maarten Rijckaert (Antwerp 1587 - Antwerp 1611) Forest Landscape with Hunters 17th century Oil on panel 32.4 x 49.5 cm This beautiful painting is a typical example of Maarten Ryckaert’s talent for creating atmospheric woodland scenes. The painting presents a dense forest filled with tall trees,a river, rough terrain and rocks. Soft light filters through the branches, creating contrasts between illuminated clearings and darker shadowed areas. In the foreground, a group of hunters on the left- and rightside accompanied by dogs: their small scale compared to the towering trees highlights the dominance of nature over human activity. The hunters add a sense of narrative and movement to the otherwise peaceful setting. Ryckaert uses earthy tones such as deep greens, browns, and golden highlights to create a rich and natural atmosphere. Fine details in the foliage, rocks, and tree trunks demonstrate his close observation of nature and his skill as a landscape painter. The scene evokes both tranquility and mystery, inviting the viewer to imagine the sounds and silence of the forest. The painting reflects the Baroque interest in dramatic natural scenery while also expressing a calm, contemplative mood. Through the balance of light, composition, and detail, Ryckaert transforms an ordinary hunting scene into a poetic vision of the natural world. Maarten Ryckaert was born in Antwerp and became especially known for his imaginative woodland scenes, rocky landscapes, and peaceful rural settings filled with travelers, hunters, and small groups of figures. Ryckaert studied painting in Antwerp and was strongly influenced by earlier Flemish landscape artists such as Joos de Momper and Jan Brueghel the Elder. Unlike many painters of his time who focused on religious or historical themes, Ryckaert specialized in landscapes, giving nature the leading role in his compositions. His works often combine realism with fantasy, creating dramatic forests, winding paths, and mysterious mountainous scenery.

Tom Wesselmann (b.1931, Cincinnati, OH, US. d.2004, New York, NY, US), 'Long Beach Seascape', 1991/95. Signed and dated on the back. Alkyd oil on cut-out aluminum, 99.1 x 190.5 cm - 39 x 75 in. Provenance: The Estate of the Artist. © 2026 The Estate of Tom Wesselmann / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Tom Wesselmann’s creative approach was in constant evolution throughout his long and productive career. Never one to follow artistic convention, he continually sought new materials and formats. His fascination with innovative surfaces and technologically advanced techniques drove him to push aesthetic and formal frontiers, as seen in 'Long Beach Seascape'. In the 1980s, Wesselmann developed a laser cutting technique that opened up a new world of creative possibilities. Using this novel method, the artist delighted in transposing his bold visual vocabulary into works that challenged the boundaries between painting, drawing, and sculpture. Speaking to the New York Times in 1985, Wesselmann couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the new medium: “I've just had the best year of my life [...] I always work in a kind of near ecstasy, anyway, but there's really been something about the new work that grabbed me.'' Centering dynamic line and vibrant color, 'Long Beach Seascape' demonstrates the artist’s endless pursuit of radical forms of creative expression.

Farah Atassi (b.1981, Brussels, Belgium), 'The Shadow,' 2026. Signed and dated on the back. Oil on canvas, 195.3 x 114.3 x 2.9 cm - 76 7/8 x 45 x 1 1/8 in. Provenance: Artist Studio. Exhibitions: Farah Atassi, 'Metamorphosis', Jun 26 — Jul 31, 2026 | Almine Rech New York. 'The Shadow' comes from a recent body of work in which Farah Atassi explored themes of metamorphosis and freedom. The central figure is a chimeric half woman-half flower that appears to flourish before our very eyes. Daphne– the nymph turned into a laurel tree to escape the god Apollo– comes to mind, a representation of transformation and transcendence. In 'The Shadow' the flower woman is organic, yet sculptural, retaining a distinct humanity that the artist has simplified, symbolized. While the composition is dreamlike and ethereal, a bold shadow brings a touch of realism, anchoring the twisting form to the pictorial plane. This work is a painting within a painting, a formal choice that allows Atassi to contrast two distinct realms while also interrogating the metamorphic potential of art. Notes of Magritte’s uncanny, atmospheric beauty emerge as the flower woman in 'The Shadow' is captured in the act of liberating herself from a canvas, striking out into the rosy dawn.

III: 1955-1964, London 1986, n° 381 (another cast ill. p. 21); Henry Moore Foundation (eds.), The Henry Moore Artwork Catalogue, online catalogue, n° LH 381 Background information: Upright Motive was the first in a series of narrow vertical sculptures by Moore, which he compared to totem poles. The Upright Motives were part of a large commission for the courtyard of the new Olivetti building in Milan. When he visited the site, 'a lone Lombardy poplar growing behind the building convinced me that a vertical work would act as the correct counterfoil to the horizontal rhythm of the building. This idea ultimately grew into the : Upright Motifs.'
