[ANTWERP 1500-1700
An exceptional trading centre for art]

Our exhibition gathers the masters of this iconic city. Among them, Abraham Janssens painted this exceptional collection of paintings which is the best complete series on panels of the theme of the Four Seasons painted by Abraham Janssens. The innovative nature of the this set’s iconography immediately makes it stand out.

Moving away from the Flemish tradition, where animated landscapes punctuated by human activities were used to identify the seasons, Janssens, as a connoisseur of classical mythology and Italian painting, saw the seasons as four allegories. Twelve figures divided into three groups compose four separate panels. The signs of the zodiac corresponding to the three months of each season feature above the heads of the figures animating the paintings.

Our exhibition ”Antwerp 1500-1700, An exceptional trading centre for art” is now open! Don’t miss our exceptional opening today for @artenvieilleville!

Antwerp's Golden Age thrived in the 16th century: the Renaissance imposed a new way of seeing the world and placed Man at the centre of the Universe. The Dutch interest in Asia, fuelled by trade prospects, opened a new artistic horizon.

Established as a permanent trading centre, Antwerp became a place where creativity flourished. It was here that Patinir initiated landscape painting and Joos van Cleve, who returned from Italy in 1511, combined the sense of balanced composition he had acquired from his travels with his meticulous observation of nature. A place of exchange that became a cultural centre, the metropolis also inspired the Mannerists who painted refined decorations associated with the late Gothic style.

However, in the 16th century, the Southern Netherlands was a small, young nation surrounded by great, old powers. And thus it became the stage for a religious battle between the Protestant North and the Spanish Catholic South. It was sacked by Spanish mercenaries in 1576 and its development gradually declined with the independence of the United Provinces.

This exhibition offers a journey through the production of this artistic centre where exchanges abounded, patrons and artists flocked, and artists expressed their creative vivacity.

Join this wedding party to mark International Danse Day!

Particularly fine and balanced, and in a remarkable state of conservation, this version is part of a series of paintings that mirror elements from the famous Wedding dance inside, engraved in 1588 by Pieter Van der Heyden after a lost original by Pieter Brueghel the Elder. Signed and dated 1612, our painting is among the first and the best versions of the theme.

The effect of the twisted foliage in the tree-filled landscape also allows him to create a set of diagonals that invite the viewer to take part in the wedding guests’ boisterous farandole in the foreground. The rather unbridled joy and excitement of the latter are in some way relayed and even emphasised by the twisted tree trunks, which are particularly expressive in our version.

and
Pieter Pourbus, Mary Magdalene as Queen Artemisia, circa 1560 (Collection de Jonckheere).

The link between these two radically different works is the perception and understanding of transparency. Perspicere in Latin means "to see through": the play of transparency here plunges our gaze outside the material and corporeal surface. Beyond the technical virtuosity of his two works, a singular presence emerges from each of them.

To celebrate International Health Day, focus on The Dentist or the Tooth Puller,
painted by David Teniers!
Charlatans or country doctors were a popular theme in David Teniers' work, and
these cleverly portrayed subjects were a great source of success for the Flemish
master. David Teniers' satirical eloquence is expressed in this delightful scene which
portrays a practitioner, brandishing a tooth, and the unfortunate patient holding his
bruised cheek in his hand.
The meticulous and polished technique of this painting shows David Teniers at his
peak during his Brussels' period. Our painting, constructed like the tavern scenes he
developed after Adriaen Brouwer, shows a complete and pleasant image of an
interior bathed in a gentle and enveloping light. The multitude of objects scattered
around the table, on the shelves and even on the floor, shows a delightful variety of
materials. The painter always takes pleasure in filling his interiors with pottery and
utensils.
Of course, this painting isn't simply the portrayal of a profession, as the outdated
garb of the practitioner ironically proves. There is an invitation to read between lines
and to focus on the well-being of the soul rather than on insignificant corporeal
concerns.

Discover our new exhibition organized with Philippe Austruy, at the Commanderie de Peyrassol until November 1st, 2022!

In the Face of Time proposes a dialogue between Flemish Old Masters and renowned contemporary artists, organised in duo. For exemple, whilst Lucas Cranach highlights one of the historical figures of the Reformation, the theologian Martin Luther (and his disciple Philipp Melanchthon), Yoan Capote's sculpture is the very metaphor of resistance.

If “the body [is the] inscribed surface of events” as Michel Foucault wrote, it becomes the image of resistance in the sculpture, the one through which the thrust of life is experienced. The body that does not abdicate but writes, walks, surveys, crowds, convinces... as did Luther when he dedicated his life fighting against what Erasmus called “soul trafficking”, thus opposing the Catholic Church which at the time was the most powerful institution in the Christian world.

It is with a tremendous joy that we announce the opening of our exhibition « Face au temps » today at la Commanderie de Peyrassol in Provence.

The show is highly unusual for us, and a very special curatorial experiment. We selected some of the best Old Master’s works from our own collection and associated them with some pieces from the Philippe Austruy Collection, owner of the vineyard and good friend of the gallery.

It is amazing to see how these two collections from different periods produce an entirely innovative show. The exhibition knits them together.

And each pair of artworks is, according to us, provocative and revelatory. One of our favorite example : Niki de Saint Phalle’s gaudy sculpture The Mermaid (1983) set alongside Frans Francken the Younger’s equally joyous Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite, with its happy crowd of merfolk and sea-sprites.

We would be delighted to see you there, enjoying the vines and the wonderful outdoor art of Peyrassol.

Do not hesitate to keep in touch with us to arrange your visit.

Today, and until April 3rd, we are celebrating European Artistic Crafts Days! The profession of art dealer is a part of this logic of valorization and protection of our European artistic heritage.

Thus, the collector or dealer of ancient art acquires over time a knowledge that allows him to refine his eye and to select with rigor the works of the past centuries. Time makes him more and more demanding and his ambition is to get his hands on masterpieces; to rehabilitate them if circumstances have buried them in anonymity.

Sometimes he dares to make reckless bids in order to have the vain pleasure of discovering the beauty of the painting or the artist he senses. His work is similar to that of an archaeologist. He discovers, researches, authenticates. He selects the most beautiful works of the past.
