Kadhim Hayder (Iraq, 1932-1985)Al Qamar oil on canvas, framedsigned 'K HAIDAR' and dated '1966' on the stretcher, executed in 1966104 x 134cm (40 15/16 x 52 3/4in).Footnotes:Al-QamarA monumental 1966 composition from Kadhim Hayder's Epic of the Martyr series formerly in the collection of the Iraqi Ambassador to Lebanon H.E Nathir Umari'The Hour has drawn near, and the moon was split in two.' Surah Al-Qamar'The horse represents the knight, keeping with the popular belief that the horse carries the spirit of the knight after his martyrdom'- Kadhim Hayder'The exhibition of The Epic of the Martyr took place in circumstances that were politically and culturally complicated; it turned the idea of martyrdom into a modern symbol that cried out in tragedy apart from any religious interpretation.'- Dia al-AzzawiProvenance:Property from the collection of H.E Nathir Umari, Iraqi Ambassador to Lebanon (1963-1966), acquired directly from the artist, circa 1966, thence by descent Exhibited:Kadhim Hayder, Gallery One, Beirut, 1966 This monumental painting from Kadhim Hayder's Martyrs Epic series is a powerful depiction of the climax of the cycle, the moment of Imam Hussein's death. Painted in 1966, 'Al Qamar' (The Moon) is a poignant and emotionally charged work that showcases the artist's masterful use of religious allegory and cultural mythology.The painting comes to market with an impressive provenance, having belonged to Nathir Umari, a prominent Iraqi diplomat who served amongst other postings as ambassador to Lebanon, the United States, and France throughout the 1960's. Umari was also a senior representative for Iraq at the United Nations. The painting was acquired by Umari in Beirut during his ambassadorshipThe title of the painting, 'Al Qamar' (The Moon), has significant symbolic meaning in Islamic culture and literature. The moon is mentioned numerous times in the Quran, and is often used as a metaphor for the light of God, purity, and guidance. In this painting, the red moon serves as a symbol both of mourning and of the light that Imam Hussein brought to the world through his sacrifice.What makes this painting particularly special is that it was not originally part of the Martyrs Epic series, but was painted a year after the exhibition. It shows the artist's fondness for this particular scene, and his desire to explore it further. In this respect 'Al Qamar' shares a striking similarity ot the painting from the series that is now in the Barjeel Art Foundation, which adds to its significance and rarity.This remarkable painting is a testament to Kadhim Hayder's importance in the history of Iraqi art, and his enduring legacy as an artist who captured the essence of one of the most important events in Islamic history..Saleem Al Bahloly: The Epic of the Martyr:'Haidar began working on the series in 1963 shortly after returning from London where he had studied printmaking and stage-design at the Royal College of Art. On the one hand, the paintings were a continuation of the interests of artists in the 1950s: in the inspiration Haidar found in popular culture and in his adoption of certain pictorial devices from ancient Assyrian sculpture to modern art (associated with the Baghdad Group for Modern Art) as well as in his concern with political struggles for justice (associated with the Pioneers art group). On the other hand, however, Haidar opened a new horizon for the practice of art by structuring the paintings around an act of symbolism.The paintings are composed of horses and warriors, wielding spears and swords and bearing banners and shields, that are positioned on a flat, mythical landscape. This imagery was drawn from the annual taʿziya celebrations that mourn the martyrdom of al-Husayn and other members of the Prophet's family in a stand-off with the Umayyad army in 680 AD; in particular, the imagery is taken from the processions in which a pageant of costumed figures representing characters from the battle fought on the 'plain' west of the Euphrates parade through the street accompanying poets who narrate in a vernacular tradition of verse the injustice suffered by the Prophet's family.In the paintings, this imagery has been reconstructed according to a variety of devices inspired by a range of sources: the bodies of the horses and figures are turned toward the viewer, as if they are appearing on a stage or in an ancient frieze depicting a historic battle; a sense of performance is carried into the image by the intense expressivity of their gestures which seem to dissolve anatomical features and the outline of shapes in a fervour of emotion; the limbs of human and animal bodies alike are often multiplied (an influence of Assyrian sculptural reliefs that Haider almost certainly saw at the British Museum in London) and tapered (a form of modelling inspired by the sculpture of Henry Moore).The reconstructed imagery is arranged in the paintings not to narrate a historical event but to elaborate a concept of the martyr that emerged out of that event—a hero who by his death in a struggle for truth paradoxically triumphs. Haidar developed this concept of the martyr in painting by focusing on the symbolic relation between the fallen martyr and his horse. As he explained to the newspaper al-Jumhuriyya in 1965: 'the horse represents the knight, keeping with the popular belief that the horse carries the spirit of the knight after his martyrdom.' That symbolism is present in the mourning processions where al-Husayn is represented by a riderless white horse; but it has its roots in a legend that, when al-Husayn's horse saw his beheaded corpse, it circled around his body, rubbed its head in his blood, let out a ferocious whine and killed forty men.The paintings in The Epic of the Martyr were different sizes [they] reflect, as Dia al-ʿAzzawi has written, Haidar's desire to collapse the distinction between gallery and street, and between art and ritual, by reproducing the atmosphere of the folk celebration inside the museum. To that end, for the exhibition in 1965, Haidar composed a poem in which each line corresponded to a painting in the series, in this way reproducing the coupling of pageant and poetry in the mourning processions.This attempt to go beyond the conventional materials of painting, in order to use the artwork to stage an experience that is not only visual but also emotive, makes The Epic of the Martyr one of the earliest pieces of contemporary art in the Middle East.'Saleem Al-Bahloly received a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, and has held fellowships at Johns Hopkins and the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is writing a book about an intellectual shift that occurred in Iraq during the 1960s in response to disillusionment with left-wing politics.

Fahr El-Nissa Zeid (Turkey, 1900-1991)Lavender oil on canvasexecuted circa 1950s72 x 58cm (28 3/8 x 22 13/16in).Footnotes:LavenderA rare and exquisite painting by Fahrelnissa Zeid from her kaleidoscopic periodProvenance:Property from the private collection, LondonProperty from the collection Fahr-El Nissa Zeid's personal assistant, Raymond Williams, EnglandGifted directly from the artist to the above owner, circa 1970s'This work is a rare specimen of Fahrelnissa Zeid's kaleidoscopic high period, a body of work that she widely exhibited in solo shows in private galleries in New York, London, Paris, and Zurich throughout the 1950s, as well as at the abstract art international exhibitions of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris' - Adila Laidi-Hanieh'Overabundance.' by Adila Laïdi-Hanieh, PhD.Fahrelnissa Zeid deployed colour, line, the sublime, and the infinitesimal in a five-decade-long career producing an extraordinary and timeless body of work. After exploring expressionist figuration during the War in Istanbul, she settled into abstraction from 1948 to 1968, and developed, then grew out of several styles in sequence. The work on offer here belongs to her second abstract phase, of mainly monumental chromoluminarist compositions, into which she transitioned in the early 1950s after she gained in assurance with abstraction, creating her well-known kinetic vortexes. This is a rare specimen to come for sale for a few reasons: Most works in that unique style have already been acquired in the span of three decades by important institutional and private collections, and because of its relatively medium size. Chromatically this painting is also unique given its dominance by pink, fuchsia and purple, while Zeid usually favoured primary colours. Still, this work concentrates Fahrelnissa Zeid's high period style and gesture. The dynamic and kinetic swarming is reined in by an invisible base, and constituted by only four colours that jostle for space with white on the pictorial plane. Her energy allowed her to work rapidly and create complex abstractions that contemporary artists now execute via computer generated patterns projected onto canvases. Fahrelnissa Zeid created alone: First freely drawing a meandering pattern by charcoal on the canvas, then filling it with paint over hours or days of focused uninterrupted work. Her sharp rapid thrusting line turns then returns, criss-crosses, and swarms the canvas, projecting her inner visions and inner states. In the interstices of the lines are ellipses of depth and light that create movement and flight. Yet Fahrelnissa Zeid is not only a linear painter, and this small work affords its viewers the treat of glimpsing her characteristic impasto and brush strokes. This work is a rare specimen of Fahrelnissa Zeid's kaleidoscopic high period, a body of work that she widely exhibited in solo shows in private galleries in New York, London, Paris, and Zurich throughout the 1950s, as well as at the abstract art international exhibitions of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris. This success led her to be invited by the ICA in 1954, to showcase the latest artistic developments of the Nouvelle Ecole de Paris art movement to London audiences, making her the first woman artist to exhibit solo at that prestigious modernist hub. What drove Fahrelnissa Zeid to work and paint prolifically? Art was for her a way out of her selfhood, like an 'overabundance' that 'starts where living does not suffice to express life'. She said that one does not paint to 'make art,' because 'there is no art, no works of art. There is the joy of living, the joy of creating, because one is not enough to oneself.'For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Eigner, Art of the Middle East: Modern and Contemporary Art of the Arab World and Iran, London 2010 (another from the edition illustrated in colour, p. 289)Note:This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the Artist in 2020.This present sculpture by Adam Henein was executed in 1955 and reflects his sensitivity and artistic complexity even as a young man. During Henein's travels around the region of Luxor, Henein created this work, which combines elements of Pharaonic art with European Modernism. The sculpture depicts an Egyptian man resting in a traditional 'galabiya,' and its rough execution and sharp edges capture the fleeting motion of light, reminiscent of archaeological fragments from Egypt's rich cultural heritage.Henein's sculptures are deeply rooted in his heritage, as he juxtaposes the life of a sculptor with that of a peasant. The sculpture portrays a laid back labourer resting after a long day of work, while Henein himself continues to hammer away at the bronze to create the image of the relaxed worker. Despite giving the sculpture a modernist twist, Henein still manages to delve into Egypt's elaborate history. Through his use of simple, minimalistic lines, he captures a palpable mythic essence while retaining simplicity. Le repos is an exceptional early work by Henein, showcasing the artist's acclaimed career and holding great mystery in the absence of detail.'Le Repos' refers to a state of rest or relaxation; it is a term that has been used to describe many significant paintings throughout art history. There is no singular artwork or style that is definitively referred to as Le Repos, however, one notable Le Repos painting is by French Impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This painting, executed in 1870, depicts a young woman in a state of peaceful repose on a sofa with a book in her lap. This work is significant for its elegant portrayal of the reclining female form and how it beautifully captures a fleeting moment of everyday life. Renoir's soft, sensual brushstrokes and warm, earthy tones emphasize her beauty and femininity. This painting heavily influenced countless artists in the decades that followed, is considered one of Renoir's masterpieces and is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lorna Selim (Iraq, 1928-2021)Architectural Composition oil on panelsigned 'Lorna' and dated '1965-1993' (lower right), executed in 1965 and completed in 199340 x 230cm (15 3/4 x 90 9/16in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from the collection of the Artist's daughterThence by decent to the present ownerBonhams is privileged to present a highly significant and comprehensive set of works by the female artist Lorna Selim. Born in 1928 in Sheffield, Lorna was the wife of the renowned Iraqi modernist Jewad Selim. She received a scholarship to study at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London where she received a diploma in painting and design in 1948. It was there that she met Jewad Selim and in 1950 they got married in Baghdad. She became a member of the Bagdad Modern Art Group founded by her husband and Shakir Hassan Al Said and became a prominent figure in Baghdad's art scene.In 1961, Jewad Selim passed away suddenly at the age of only 41 years old in the midst of a project to complete a major monumental sculpture entitled Nasb Al Hurriyah or 'The Freedom Monument' for the Baghdad's city centre. Following his death, Lorna, along with architect Rifat Chadirji supervised the completion of this iconic monument. In the 1960s, Lorna taught drawing at Baghdad University's Department of Architecture headed by the prominent Iraqi architect Mohamed Makiya. As a teacher she encouraged her students to sketch structures along the Tigris and exposed her young architects to Iraq's vernacular structures, alleyways and historical monuments. This work cultivated and inspired a generation of architects to consider including Iraqi design alongside modern Western architecture in their designs.Lorna was fascinated by the traditional Iraqi houses found along the banks of the Tigris river, from the bayoot (houses) and the mudhif (reed dwellings). Not long after her arrival in Baghdad, the city underwent a period of modernisation, and many traditional homes were being demolished. Dismayed by the destruction of the city's vernacular architecture due to rapid oil-funded modernisation, Lorna took it upon herself to paint these neighbourhoods and document them before they were erased from living memory. Lorna began by sketching a building then she would return home to start the layout of the painting. She would then return to the building to sketch the finer details and note down the colours. Between 1957 and 1963, she sketched many vernacular buildings and homes.Lorna illustrates Baghdad's architecture in her work through abstract forms of simple lines giving hieratic postures to the figures in their daily lives. And with an earthy colour palette, she celebrates the ancient culture from Mesopotamia using symbols from the Iraqi environment such as palm trees or crescent. The yellowish-sepia tones Lorna employed in the 1960s were also meant to render this architecture in an antiquated and ghostly light, a warning that these were already relics of a bygone era. It's fair to say that she immortalised a Baghdad that is all but forgotten.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

According to the records held by the British Geological Society the microscope was bought in 1936 presumably for Dr Phemister, who was recorded as having it in 1937. Dr. Phemister was appointed Official Petrographer in 1935, a post he held until he became Assistant Director in 1946.Dr James Phemister was a renowned geologist whose contributions to the field of earth sciences were significant. He was born in Scotland in 1903 and spent most of his life working as a geologist in the UK. Dr Phemister's expertise in the field of geology earned him a high reputation among his peers and the scientific community.Dr Phemister's career began at the University of Edinburgh, where he earned a degree in geology. He then went on to study at the University of Cambridge, where he obtained a PhD in 1928. After completing his studies, Dr Phemister joined the British Geological Survey, where he worked for over 30 years. During this time, he made significant contributions to the study of geology in the UK.Dr Phemister's work was not limited to the UK, however. He also worked on geological surveys in Africa and South America. In Africa, he worked on a geological mapping project in the Congo, where he discovered the presence of copper deposits. In South America, he worked on a project to map the geology of the Andes mountains, which helped to improve our understanding of the tectonic processes that shape mountain ranges.Dr Phemister was also an active member of the Geological Society of London, where he played an important role in the development of the society. He was elected a Fellow of the society in 1939 and served as its President from 1953 to 1955. During his tenure as President, Dr Phemister worked to increase the society's membership and promote the study of geology.Apart from his work with the Geological Society, Dr Phemister was also an accomplished author. He published several books on geology, including "The Geology of Central England" and "The Geology of the South Wales Coalfield." These books were instrumental in advancing our understanding of the geological history of these regions.Dr Phemister's contributions to geology and earth sciences were recognized by many scientific societies in his lifetime. He was awarded the Wollaston Medal by the Geological Society of London in 1956 for his contributions to the study of geology. He was also awarded the Lyell Medal by the same society in 1966 for his contributions to geological mapping.In conclusion, Dr James Phemister was a pioneering geologist whose contributions to the field of earth sciences were immense. His work on geological mapping and his involvement in geological surveys in Africa and South America helped to improve our understanding of the geology of these regions. His tenure as President of the Geological Society of London was marked by his efforts to promote the study of geology and increase the society's membership. Dr Phemister's legacy lives on through his numerous publications and his lasting impact on the field of geology.Peter Aubrey Sabine, (b.1924 - d.2022) was as a prominent British petrologist and mineralogist born in London in 1924. He graduated with a geology degree from Imperial College London in 1945 and joined the Geological Survey and Museum (GSM) as a Geologist. Early in his career, he helped to reorganize the Geological Museum's specimens and showcases, sparking his interest in igneous petrology. In 1951, he received his PhD for investigating the minor intrusions of the Assynt district in N.W. Highlands. He was later promoted to Chief Petrographer and set about modernizing the Petrographical Department. He realized that the polarizing microscope for the optical characterization of rocks and minerals had been overtaken by more rapid and versatile techniques. He acquired the first X-ray diffraction (XRD) equipment by the late 1950s, followed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) equipment. By the mid-1960s, modern X-ray diffractometer and image analysis equipment were installed, making the Petrographical Department the best equipped and staffed laboratory in the GSM.Sabine conducted various petrological studies, including contact metamorphism of chalk by Tertiary dolerite intrusions, resulting in several seminal publications. He provided the first detailed petrographical description of the granite found on Rockall, a tiny Atlantic island, after the first landing by the Royal Navy in 1955.Sabine was the longest-standing member of the Mineralogical Society at the time of his death, having joined in 1945 and becoming Vice President of the Geological Society in 1966. In 1977, he became Chief Geochemist at the Gray's Inn Road office of the renamed British Geological Survey (BGS) and later returned to the Exhibition Road as Deputy Director. However, he retired at the end of 1984 when the BGS relocated its headquarters to a site near Nottingham. Sabine's legacy includes groundbreaking research and modernization in petrology and mineralogy.

A Double Vane Crooke's Radiometer German, c.1880, hand blown glass vessel containing 2 sets of mica vanes constructed to contra-rotate when exposed to sunlight, on a turned wooden base, height 28cm The Crookes radiometer, also known as a light mill, is a fascinating scientific device that consists of a glass bulb with a partial vacuum inside, containing a set of vanes that are mounted on a spindle. When exposed to light, the vanes spin rapidly, seemingly in response to the radiation pressure of the light. The device was first discovered by Sir William Crookes, a British physicist and chemist, in 1873. Crookes was conducting experiments on the behavior of gases under low pressure when he noticed a strange effect. He observed that when a partially evacuated glass bulb containing a paddle wheel was exposed to light, the wheel began to spin. This observation puzzled Crookes and he was eager to understand the mechanism behind it. He soon realized that the spinning of the paddle wheel was due to the radiation pressure of the light. The radiation pressure of light is a force that arises when photons, the particles that make up light, collide with an object. When the photons collide with the vanes of the Crookes radiometer, they exert a tiny amount of force on them, causing them to spin. The force exerted by the photons is proportional to the intensity of the light and the surface area of the vanes. Crookes went on to study the effect in more detail, constructing various versions of the device and exploring its properties. He discovered that the speed of the vanes increased with the intensity of the light, and that the direction of rotation depended on the color of the light. He also found that the vanes spun faster in a vacuum than in air, as the presence of air molecules can interfere with the motion of the vanes. Condition: works well in strong daylight

2 Important Articles on Black Holes by Stephen Hawking, Nature, comprising of: 1 - Nature A Weekly Journal of Science, Volume 232, August 13, 1971, London, Macmillan Journals, Ltd, complete bound journals, with library stamps throughout for 'Strangeways Research Laboratory Library, Cambridge'with first edition, first impression of Stephen Hawking and G. W Gibbon's paper: Evidence for Black Holes in Binary Star Systems [p.465 – p.466] In 1971, two physicists, C. H. Gibbons and M. R. H. Hawkins, published an article in the journal Nature titled "Evidence for Black Holes in Binary Star Systems." This article presented compelling evidence for the existence of black holes, which until then had only been a theoretical concept. Gibbons and Hawkins focused on the behavior of binary star systems, which consist of two stars that orbit around a common center of mass. By measuring the velocities and positions of the stars over time, they were able to calculate the masses of the stars and their distance from each other. They found that in some cases, one of the stars appeared to be much more massive than expected, indicating that it might be a black hole. The evidence for the presence of a black hole in these binary systems comes from the fact that the observed star's mass is much larger than that of any known star. Additionally, the black hole cannot be seen directly, as it does not emit any light. However, its presence can be inferred from the gravitational effects it has on its companion star. One of the most convincing pieces of evidence presented by Gibbons and Hawkins was the behavior of a binary system called Cygnus X-1. This system consists of a massive star and an invisible companion. By measuring the orbit of the visible star, the researchers were able to calculate the mass of the invisible companion, which turned out to be around 10 times the mass of the sun. Such a massive object cannot be a normal star, leading them to conclude that it must be a black hole. Gibbons and Hawkins' article was groundbreaking in its time, as it provided the first observational evidence for the existence of black holes. Since then, many more black holes have been discovered, and they are now believed to be a common feature of the universe. Black holes are thought to play a crucial role in the formation of galaxies, and they are now a major focus of research in astrophysics. In conclusion, Gibbons and Hawkins' article "Evidence for Black Holes in Binary Star Systems" presented convincing evidence for the existence of black holes in binary systems. Their observations provided strong support for a theoretical concept that had until then been purely hypothetical. The discovery of black holes has had a significant impact on our understanding of the universe, and their study continues to be a major area of research in astrophysics. and 2 - Nature A Weekly Journal of Science, Volume 234, No. 5328, December 10, London, Macmillan Journals, Ltd, complete bound journals, with library stamps throughout for 'Strangeways Research Laboratory Library, Cambridge'with first edition, first impression of Dr. Stephen Hawking and Dr. G W Gibbons reply to A. H Batten & R.P. Olowins letter to Nature titled Black Holes & Binary Stars [p.341 – p.342] The article by Batten, Olowin, Hawking, and Gibbons was one of the first to explore the possibility that black holes could be formed through the evolution of binary star systems. The authors proposed a new mechanism for the formation of black holes that involved the transfer of matter between two stars in a binary system. The idea behind the article was that when two stars are in a binary system, they are in close proximity to one another, and their gravitational fields can interact in such a way as to cause one star to transfer material to the other. If one of the stars is sufficiently massive, it can accrete a large amount of matter from its companion, eventually becoming so massive that it collapses in on itself, forming a black hole. The authors used a combination of theoretical calculations and observational data to support their hypothesis. They showed that if two stars in a binary system were close enough together, they could transfer enough matter to cause one of them to collapse into a black hole. They also noted that there were several binary star systems in our own galaxy that were likely candidates for this process. The article was groundbreaking for several reasons. First, it provided a new mechanism for the formation of black holes, which had previously been thought to form only from the collapse of massive stars. Second, it showed that binary star systems could be important for understanding the evolution of stars and the formation of black holes. Third, it demonstrated the power of combining theoretical calculations with observational data to develop new ideas in astrophysics. The work of Batten, Olowin, Hawking, and Gibbons has had a significant impact on our understanding of black holes and binary star systems. Today, astronomers continue to study these objects, using new telescopes and advanced theoretical models to explore their properties and evolution. The article 'Black Holes and Binary Stars' remains an important landmark in the history of astrophysics, and a testament to the power of collaboration and interdisciplinary research. Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) was a celebrated physicist, cosmologist, and author. He was born in Oxford, England, and after receiving his Ph.D. from Cambridge University, he went on to become a world-renowned researcher and professor. Hawking's work on black holes, quantum mechanics, and the origins of the universe has had a profound impact on our understanding of the cosmos. Despite being diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) at the age of 21, Hawking continued to make significant contributions to the fields of physics and cosmology throughout his lifetime. He was the author of several popular science books, including "A Brief History of Time," which has sold millions of copies worldwide. Hawking's legacy as a brilliant thinker and communicator of science continues to inspire and educate people around the world.
Hieronymus van der Mij, (1687–1761), showing a wooded landscape with two women and a cherub, with inscription 'H. Vander Mij Fec 1745' to the middle of the bottom, black chalk, black chalk framing lines, 25.5cm x 19.5cm Hieronymus van der Mij was a Dutch artist who lived in the 18th century. He is known for his paintings of landscapes, seascapes, and still lifes. Despite his talent and the quality of his work, van der Mij is relatively unknown today, and his life remains a mystery to many. Born in Amsterdam in 1714, van der Mij showed an early interest in art and began his training as a painter at a young age. He studied under the Dutch painter Jacob de Wit, who was known for his decorative wall and ceiling paintings. Under de Wit’s tutelage, van der Mij developed his skills as a painter and learned to create large-scale works of art. Van der Mij’s style was influenced by the Dutch Golden Age of painting, which was characterized by a focus on realism, attention to detail, and a strong use of light and shadow. His landscapes and seascapes often feature dramatic skies, with billowing clouds and bright bursts of light breaking through. He had a keen eye for detail, and his paintings often feature carefully rendered trees, flowers, and animals. Despite his talent, van der Mij never achieved the same level of success as some of his contemporaries. He worked primarily as a decorative painter, creating murals and other large-scale works for public and private buildings. He also created many still lifes, which were popular among collectors at the time. Van der Mij’s work has largely been forgotten over time, and only a few of his paintings survive today. However, his legacy can still be seen in the work of later Dutch painters, who were influenced by his style and approach to painting. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in van der Mij’s work, with some art historians and collectors seeking out his remaining paintings. While his life remains shrouded in mystery, his talent as a painter is undeniable. His work serves as a reminder of the rich artistic tradition of the Dutch Golden Age, and his legacy continues to inspire artists and art lovers today. In conclusion, Hieronymus van der Mij was a Dutch artist who lived in the 18th century. He was known for his landscapes, seascapes, and still lifes, which featured a strong use of light and shadow and attention to detail. Although he worked primarily as a decorative painter, his talent and influence can still be seen in the work of later Dutch painters. While much of his life remains unknown, his legacy as an artist lives on through his surviving paintings, which continue to inspire and captivate art lovers today.
