pieter brueghel the younger
Pieter Brueghel the Younger (Brussels 1564-1638 Antwerp) The Payment of the Tithe or the Village Lawyer, 1622 Oil on panel 78.9 x 123.2 cm Signed and dated: P. BREVGHEL, 1622 Provenance: private collection, Belgium; Galerie Legenhoek, Paris, 1991; private collection, France Literature: Ertz, Klaus, Pieter Brueghel der Jüngere: Die Gemälde mit kritischem Oeuvrekatalog, Lingen, Luca Verlag, Vol. I, 2000, p. 513, cat. E 507, repr.; Curie, Christina, Allart, Dominique, The Brue[H]el Phenomenon, Brussels, Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, vol. III, p. 1030-1031 This Payment of the Tithe, or The Village Lawyer, is marked by Pieter Brueghel the Younger’s verve, meticulous execution, and vibrant colours. The satirical subject mocks the profession of the lawyer responsible for collecting the heavy tax that the poorest peasants struggled to pay. The grotesque faces of the petitioners, as well as the lawyer’s prognathous jaw - associating him with the Spanish authorities then in power - fascinate through their caricatural force. This original composition by Pieter Brueghel the Younger stimulated the market of the time, generating strong demand. The success of this still-relevant satire has endured to the present day.
Kunsthaus Kende
Satoshi Hara (Japan, Yokohama, 1962) Flower vase with inlaid Chrysanthemum design (mujinagiku) Ishikawa, 2018 Gold, silver and iron H 18 cm - Ø 20 cm Provenance: artist’s estate Satoshi Hara, who was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture in 1962, specialises in creating hammered metalworks embellished with intricate and labour-intensive decorations in gold and silver. This highly developed inlay technique makes the decorations appear as if they were drawn with a thin pen. The artist has created his own technique, which he calls ‘Nanako Zogan.’ With this technique, he is able to inlay patterns into the vessels using 0.3 mm-thick silver wires. Each individual line is created in five different steps. One piece of work contains an average of 50 metres of silver wire, meaning that the artist has to work with approximately 200 metres of silver wire throughout the various stages. There is no room for error in this highly complex and time-consuming process, since it is impossible to rectify any mistakes. The artist has been teaching metalworking at Kanazawa College of Art, Department of Craft, since 2003. His work can be found in numerous museums in Japan and abroad.

Vagabond Antiques
Monumental carved marble Sundial Portugal, Oporto region, mid-18th century H 357 x W 130 x D 62 cm Portugal has a rich tradition of country houses and manors indigenously known as solares or quintas. Some were modelled on the great 18th century gardens of Le Notre and other landscape architects in France. Under King João, himself a great patron of the arts, began the great 18th century period of Portuguese baroque. The previous austere architectural style, albeit heavily influenced by Renaissance Italy, was replaced with exuberance. With great profits from its colonies and especially gold and precious stones from Minas Gerais and the Sertão of São Paulo in Brazil, it was the golden era of Portuguese architecture and ornament. From it there emerged a new artistic language. Named the Joanine, in honour of the King, it was an architectural style that transformed quintas not only in Portugal but also in the nation’s Atlantic provinces and overseas colonies. This spectacular sundial, monumental in scale, incorporates many architectural elements synonymous with the baroque architecture of the mid-18th century. It was a highly creative Italian who created a form of this style of architecture perfectly suited to Northern Portugal. Born in 1691 and trained in Sienna, Nicolau Nasoni arrived in Oporto in 1725. Having established his reputation by modernising the city’s cathedral, he was commissioned by Jeronimo de Tavora e Noronha to build the Church of Clerigos, one of Oporto’s great 18th century churches. Commissions for other churches and quintas followed, the most famous of which being the grand solar de Mateus, known all over the world for the rose wine that bears its name. The architectural composition of this sundial probably owes more to the façade of the Cas dos Porto Carreiro. Similar works was commissioned by Antonio de Vasconcelos Carvalho e Menezes, a wealthy Portuguese noble who made part of his wealth in Brazil, it was constructed by a Spanish architect but heavily influenced by Nasoni’s work. The volute scrolls and the foliate elements as well as the stylised lambrequins all echo Nasoni’s designs for the gilt woodwork of Oporto churches.

During the late 1960s, Springford had come into her own as an artist. She had developed a signature visual vocabulary and a technique of stain painting to go with it, working with thinned paint to create kaleidoscopic, gestural works.

marcelle delcour - guinard
Marcelle Delcour-Guinard (Switzerland, Meyrin 1896-1978 France) Bather, 1931 Marble sculpture H 172 x W 45.5 x D 46 cm Signed ‘M Delcour-Guinard’ and dated 1931 Unique piece Provenance: the artist's family collection Exhibition: Salon des Artistes Français, 1932, Baigneuse, statue de marbre, n° 3675 Born in Cointrain (Canton of Geneva), Marcelle Delcour trained at the Regional School of Fine Arts in Rennes and studied under the sculptors Laurent Marqueste (1848–1920) and Victor Ségoffin (1867–1925), the head of the sculpture studio for female students at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris. In 1920, she married the painter Robert Raoul André Guinard (1896–1989), with whom she spent two years in Morocco in 1934. Upon returning to France in 1936, the couple settled in a small village called Crécey, in the commune of Saint-Pair-sur-Mer: he painted, she sculpted. Benefiting from the post–Second World War reconstruction projects, she received numerous commissions from Canon Pinel to restore works of art preserved in the churches of the Manche region. Anne Delcour-Guinard exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1924 to 1932. In 1924, the committee of the Association des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, architectes, graveurs et dessinateurs (Fondation Taylor) awarded her the Prix Galimard-Jaubert on May 27. In 1925, she received an honourable mention, and in 1932, a bronze medal for La Baigneuse, a marble sculpture. The work was then displayed in a place of honour at the centre of the nave of the Grand Palais. The sculpture is indeed remarkable for its life-size proportions and its distinctive 1930s style, which, in the spirit of Art Deco, celebrates the female form - elongated, elegant, and liberated. She is embodied here as the garçonne: short-haired, athletic, and modern, asserting her nudity without false modesty, revealed through the graceful gesture of her folded arm and offered to the viewer’s gaze.
