Full title: Italian school, after Leonardo da Vinci: 'Mona Lisa', oil on canvas, dated 1839Description:Dim.: 94 x 74 cm (the frame)Dim.: 75 x 55 cm (the work)Ê Monogrammed J.D. and dated 1839 on the back.Ê Provenance:- The collection of a passionate restorer in the north of France.-Thence by descent to the current owner in Belgium.Ê This image, among the most recognizable in the world, finds its source in Leonardo da Vinci's iconic portrait in the Louvre, The Mona Lisa, thought to depict Lisa Gherardini, the wife of the Florentine silk merchant Francesco Giocondo. An old label on the back also bears this in writing.Ê Although the modern-day fame surrounding the Mona Lisa today did not arise until the twentieth century, the painting long served as an illustrious model of the Renaissance ideal from a very early age. The numerous copies made after it are a testament to its timeless appeal. Some of the earliest known copies include the panel in the Prado museum, which is thought to have arisen in Leonardo's workshop. Some copies, like the version in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, record the vestigial columns that were removed from the original composition at an early stage.

Full title: Andries Daniels (c. 1580-1640), attributed to: 'The wedding of Mary and Joseph' in an oval medallion with a floral garland, oil on canvasDescription:Dim.: 129 x 110 cm (the frame)Dim.: 107,5 x 89,5 cm (the work)Ê Andries Daniels (c. 1580 - after 1640) was a Flemish painter who was active in Antwerp during the first half of the 17th century. He is known for his flower still lifes and garland paintings, a genre of still life paintings that he helped develop in Antwerp.Ê Little is known about his life. No records of the date and place of his birth or the names of his parents have been found to date.Ê He is first mentioned in 1599 when he is registered under the name Andries Daniels at the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke. He was recorded as a pupil studying painting with Pieter Brueghel the Younger. Pieter Brueghel the Younger was the son of the prominent landscape and genre painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder and brother of Jan Brueghel the Elder, a prolific painter in many genres and a major contributor in the development of floral painting in Northern Europe. Daniels may have participated in copying works of Pieter Brueghel the Elder during his period of apprenticeship. In 1602 he was registered as a master of the Guild.Ê He executed a joint will with his wife Jozijnke van der Hoerst on 25 July 1640, which is the last record of his life. The date and place of his death are unknown.Ê Daniels played a role in the development of the genre of garland paintings. Garland paintings are a special type of still life developed in Antwerp by artists such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, Hendrick van Balen, Frans Francken the Younger, Peter Paul Rubens and Daniel Seghers. They typically show a flower garland around a devotional image or portrait. This genre was inspired by the cult of veneration and devotion to Mary prevalent at the Habsburg court (then the rulers over the Southern Netherlands) and in Antwerp generally.Ê Daniels is known as a painter of still lifes, in particular still lifes of flowers in flamboyant vases, and flower garlands. Not many of his works are known as he was only rediscovered in the 1950s-1960s.Ê Only one signed painting, the Garland of Flowers around an image of the Holy Family and Angels (current location unknown, at Galleria Lorenzelli, Bergamo in 1967) bearing the signature 'ANDRIES.DANIELS.F.' has been found so far. This work has been the basis for attributing additional works to the artist, in particular works previously attributed to Jan Brueghel the Elder. However, art historians do not agree on various attributions and earlier attributions have been contested subsequently. An example is the Garland of Flowers with Virgin and Child in the Hermitage Museum, the flower part of which was attributed to Daniels by Ingvar Bergström before 1966. This attribution has been challenged by Fred G. Meijer who found that the Hermitage painting's execution of the flowers is different from the handling of flowers in the signed painting. The attribution to Daniels of a Virgin and Child in a Garland of Flowers, (c. 1608, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan) traditionally attributed to Jan Brueghel the Elder has also failed to find unanimous support among experts.Ê The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition.

JUAN LUNA Y NOVICIO (Badoc, Philippines, 1857 - Hong Kong, 1899). "Souvenir of the Battle of Lepanto ", 1887. Oil on canvas. Re-lined Signed, titled, dedicated to Vicente Romero Girón and dated in the lower left corner. Measurements: 20 x 19 cm; 52 x 48 cm (frame). Juan Luna's epic paintings were celebrated internationally, and it was "The Battle of Lepanto" (in homage to the Christian victory over the Ottomans in 1571) which brought him the greatest fame. In the same year in which he painted the historical theme of this naval battle (a commission from the Spanish Senate to the distinguished Philippine painter), he executed the portrait in question. As the dedication says, it is part of the same theme. Although it does not coincide exactly with any of the figures in the final painting, it has notable similarities with the main protagonists of the naval battle, as he would eventually conceive it. Firstly, we have John of Austria (of whom he made various preparatory drawings, and who in the final painting is placed at the bow of the ship, captaining the Christian fleet), wearing a helmet topped with a plume of feathers, with an aristocratic profile and a trimmed moustache, similar to the present figure. However, it is more likely that this is a self-portrait, as Juan Luna included himself among the sailors in Philip II's army (which also included Cervantes). Indeed, his features coincide with those of the personage who in the official commission wears a dalmatic and helmet. The fact that he is included as part of such a victorious feat attests (the royal galley sinking the Turkish galleon) to the self-esteem Juan de Luna owed to himself, and also to the pre-eminent place he enjoyed not only in the Spanish sphere, but also internationally. In the present portrait, we see the sitter in profile, looking straight ahead, with a fragment of sail breaking the composition diagonally, and his gaze straight ahead leads us to imagine his complacency at the enemy's shipwreck. "The Battle of Lepanto", a symbol of the Catholic triumph against the invading forces, was intended for the Senate Conference Room. In technique and style, we can appreciate the broad, vibrant, undone brushstroke characteristic of the Filipino painter, a language close to Impressionism but inscribed in a realism of naturalistic tone. Juan Luna trained at the Ateneo de la Compañía de Manila, where he was taught by Agustín Saéz. He entered the Academy of Fine Arts in the same city, where he was a disciple of Lorenzo Guerrero. In 1877 he was awarded a scholarship by the Manila City Council which enabled him to move to Madrid to further his training at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts. In the Spanish capital he became a pupil of Alejo Vera and travelled with him to Rome when the latter was appointed director of the Spanish Academy in that city. He subsequently settled in Paris, where he opened his own studio. He received important institutional commissions, among them the one he received in 1887 from the Spanish Senate, "The Battle of Lepanto". The Ministry of Overseas France commissioned another work from him, a composition representing Spain and the Philippines. Luna also took part in numerous official exhibitions, being awarded a second medal for "Cleopatra" at the National Fine Arts Exhibition of 1881 and a first medal for "Spoliarium" at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1884. He also exhibited his works abroad, and in fact sent his canvases to the Paris Salon of 1886, where he was awarded the third medal. Two years later, in 1888, he was awarded a second medal at the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona. He took part in the Universal Exhibition in Paris, where he was awarded the third medal. Juan Luna's works are currently represented in important art centres such as the Prado Museum, the National Museum of the Philippines, the Cádiz Town Hall, the Captaincy General of Seville, the Government Delegation of the Basque Country, etc.
