The German-born painter Joseph Heintz the Younger moved to Venice in the early 1620s, where he lived and worked for over fifty years until his death, becoming the leading exponent of 17th-century Venetian festival painting.
The “Festa del Redentore” is an annual tradition that has been observed in Venice since time immemorial to mark the Feast of the Ascension, during which, following the procession, the Doge throws his ring into the waves of the Adriatic Sea as a symbol of the “marriage of Venice to the Adriatic”, believed to bring good fortune. As documented in the picture, countless guests of honour from all over Europe took part in the ceremony every year.

The German-born painter Joseph Heintz the Younger moved to Venice in the early 1620s, where he lived and worked for over fifty years until his death, becoming the leading exponent of 17th-century Venetian festival painting.
The painting, originally titled ‘Il Doge in Pozzetto’, depicts the festive occasion in which the Doge stands in a fountain-like throne, carried by a line of strong bearers, whilst throwing coins to the crowd. This scene forms the centre of the composition. As can be seen in the painting, the scramble for the coins had led to scuffles.

Jan Davidsz. de Heem is regarded as one of the most important Dutch still life painters of the 17th century. Having lived in both Utrecht and Antwerp, he combined characteristic features of both still life schools in his work.
With a body of work ranging from early book still lifes to magnificent floral arrangements, his sumptuous still lifes proved particularly successful – in these, he incorporated elements of Flemish kitchen scenes in the tradition of Frans Snyders.

Standing imposingly behind the Grand Canal is Santa Maria della Salute, a Baroque church in Venice’s Dorsoduro district, situated across the St Mark's Square. It is one of Venice’s two votive churches, built in response to a plague epidemic in the city. In 1630, Venice lost around 46,000 inhabitants (a third of its population) to the epidemic.
The construction of the church marked the start of a fundamental urban redevelopment of this area, which has shaped the image of Venice – captured in countless vedutas from the 17th to the 19th century – to this day.

This vivid panel by Marten van Cleve the Elder, was sold for € 85.000 in our last auctions. It captures the demolition of the Citadel of Antwerp, a politically charged subject that held particular resonance for Antwerp collectors in the late 16th century. As in many of van Cleve’s compositions, the scene unfolds as a densely populated cross-section of contemporary society, bringing together soldiers, noblemen, townspeople, labourers, and peasants within a single panoramic narrative.

A mounted figure at the left—possibly identified as either Charles de Redelghem or Portus de Noyelles, both associated with the events surrounding the citadel—adds a further historical dimension to the composition. At once documentary and theatrical, the painting reflects van Cleve’s characteristic ability to fuse animated genre observation with deeper civic and political meaning.

Trained under Frans Floris and active in Antwerp, van Cleve became one of the leading interpreters of multi-figure scenes in the Southern Netherlands. Like works by his contemporary Pieter Bruegel the Elder, his paintings transcend anecdotal description, offering nuanced reflections on social order, public life, and collective identity.

A closely comparable version is preserved at the Worcester Art Museum.

Virtus, the personification of military valour who was worshipped as a deity in ancient Rome and wears a helmet adorned with a plume, sits at the centre of this impressive painting. With a paddle in her hand, Fortuna sits diagonally opposite him on a globe, whilst the two allegorical figures clasp hands.
A Genius approaching from the left presents the pair with a laurel wreath and a sceptre. His knee, like that of Virtus, rests on the back of Bacchus, who completes the diamond shape and is depicted in a daring yet skilfully executed foreshortening; we know him well from other paintings by Rubens and his workshop – his drunken body lies face down on the ground; the cause of his drunkenness and the uncontrolled lust associated with it, namely a metal drinking vessel in the antique style, also lies on the ground at the bottom of the picture, still clasped in his fingers.

Jusepe de Ribera’s Thales of Miletus belongs to a celebrated series of philosopher portraits, repeated in several autograph versions. Emerging from a dark background and illuminated from the upper left, the ancient thinker confronts the viewer with a rolled paper showing geometric diagrams, while holding an hourglass in his right hand. These attributes firmly identify him as Thales of Miletus, the pre-Socratic philosopher associated with early geometric thought.

Comparable versions are held in important collections in London, Edinburgh, Paris, and Copenhagen, underlining the composition’s significance within Ribera’s oeuvre.

Before settling in Naples, Ribera trained in Valencia and absorbed influences from the Carracci, Correggio and above all Caravaggio. Alongside Caravaggio, he became one of the defining naturalists of Neapolitan painting, renowned for his dramatic chiaroscuro and his deeply human portrayals of ascetics, hermits, and philosophers.

In soft summer light, Utrillo captures one of Montmartre’s most iconic landmarks with quiet precision. A sandy road, wooden fence, and sparse greenery lead the eye toward the windmill, its sails just visible above the roofline. The pale blue sky, infused with white, reflects the artist’s signature atmospheric touch.

Once surrounded by over a dozen working mills, the Moulin de la Galette remains a symbol of Montmartre’s rural past, its name derived from the small bread once sold on site.

Born in Paris in 1883, Maurice Utrillo was the son of painter Suzanne Valadon. His signature, “Maurice Utrillo V.,” reflects both the name of a Catalan artist who acknowledged paternity and a lasting connection to his mother, with whom he shared studios and a deep artistic bond.

As a pioneer of German modernism, Paula Modersohn-Becker ranks among the most significant female artists of the period around 1900, not only in Germany but throughout Europe. She was the first German Expressionist – even before the founding of the Dresden Brücke in 1905 and the Munich Blauer Reiter in 1908.
