Anthonius van DyckAntwerpen 1599 – 1641 London, zugeschriebenPortrait eines alten MannesÖl auf Leinwand, 39 x 28 xmDieses Portrait eines Mannes (39x28cm) wurde mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit in der Werkstatt des Anthonis van Dyck (1599-1641) in der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts gefertigt. Van Dyck, ein bedeutender Maler des flämischen Barock, war zunächst ein Lehrling in der Lukas-Gilde Antwerpens und hatte im Alter von 16 Jahren bereits sein eigenes Atelier. Schon in jungen Jahren, ab 1618 arbeitete er für Peter Paul Rubens, der ihn sogar als seinen „besten Schüler“ bezeichnete, obwohl er vermutlich recht schnell vom Gehilfen zum engen Mitarbeiter aufstieg. So erreichte er schnell einen hohen Bekanntheitsgrad. Sein meisterhaftes Können wird auch dadurch unterstrichen, dass er selbst bald eine große Werkstatt leitete und zahlreiche bedeutende Nachfolger hatte. Van Dyck verfeinerte sein Geschick noch zusätzlich durch Reisen in Italien, wo er in den 1620ern um die 300 Personen porträtierte. Hier perfektionierte er das Handwerk eines Porträtisten; von seinem ersten datierten Bild – einem Männerportrait – aus dem Jahr 1613 zu seiner Arbeit als Hofmaler und Porträtist für Karl I. in London ab 1632. Einen besonderen Feinschliff lieferte die venezianische Hochrenaissance-Malerei, wobei seine künstlerische Vielseitigkeit besonders in den meisterlichen Männerporträts zum Ausdruck gebracht wird.Aus einem typischen dunklen Hintergrund tritt der Porträtkopf im Chiaroscuro hervor; der Kragen aus durchsichtigem, luxuriösem Stoff unterstreicht die Leuchtkraft der imposanten Erscheinung, die nicht im Geringsten auf Körperhaftigkeit angewiesen ist. Das füllig - wohlgenährte Gesicht des Mannes ist gerahmt von kurzem Haupthaar und gestutztem Wangenbart, der durch den üppigen, zusammenlaufenden Schnauz- und Kinnbart kontrastiert wird. Dieser sorgsam gekämmte Bart hat als Zentrum einen nachdenklich geschürzten Mund mit betonten roten Lippen, die einen lebendigen und frischen Eindruck erwecken. Die Lichtquelle tritt von links in das Bildfeld, wobei die Augen des Porträtierten genau hier fokussieren. Durch dieses gekonnt eingesetzte Detail werden die expressiven Augen in ihrer Wachsamkeit zur Schau gestellt. Die gesamte Augenpartie ist, typisch für van Dyck, naturalistisch - ausdrucksstark strukturiert: Die Stirn ist leicht gerunzelt, die Augenbrauen grüblerisch zusammengezogen. Das Paar leuchtender Augen wird eindrucksvoll durch die weiß betonte Wasserlinie, das wulstig herausgearbeitete Tränenwärzchen und die prägnanten Lider geschildert. Man vergleiche nur das Bildnis des Cornelis van der Geest um 1620 aus der National Gallery in London: Nicht nur der nachdenkliche Gesamtausdruck und die einprägsame Augenpartie sind ähnlich, sondern auch die präzise eingesetzte Farbigkeit. Diese unterstreicht die van Dyck’sche Souveränität in der Nuancierung der Gesichtsstruktur, denn die einzelnen Lichtpunkte auf Nase und Pupille vermitteln einen fast unmittelbar- fotorealistischen Eindruck. Auch die technisch durchkomponierte Verfahrensweise der Pinselführung ist charakteristisch für van Dyck und seine Werkstatt; zusammen mit dem ansprechenden Krakelee wird der Alterswert des Bildes betont.

Portrait auf ScagliolaplatteDer Heilige FranziskusMuseales GemäldeÖl auf Stein, 54,5 x 47,5 cmDieses außergewöhnliche Portrait eines Kutten-Heiligen wurde in Italien im 17. oder 18. Jahrhundert geschaffen.Das Gemälde ist von ungewöhnlich hohem künstlerischem Können und besticht durch die Verwendung einer Scagliolaplatte als Malträger. Möglicherweise handelt es sich bei dem Dargestellten um den heiligen Franziskus der über einem Buch in Gedanken verloren sinniert. Die Tonsur und die Bekleidung mit einer Kutte lassen uns zu dieser Annahme kommen. Stilistisch ist das Werk in die Epoche des 17./18. Jahrhunderts einzuordnen. Auch das Krakelee und die Oberfläche lassen diesen Schluss zu. Die Patina und Oberfläche der Rückseite des Panels verstärken diesen Eindruck. Da wir noch keinen vergleichbaren Kunstgegenstand in Händen hatten und auch kein wirklich anerkannter Experte für diese Objekte gefunden werden konnte, ist54, auch eine Entstehung im 19. Jahrhundert möglich. Unserer Meinung nach aber früher. Möglicherweise ist diese Tafel eine absolute Neuentdeckung. Qualitativ ist es auf jeden Fall ein kaum vergleichbares, hoch interessantes Sammlerstück.

ANGELA REILLY, CHANGE oil on board, signed and titled verso 26.5cm x 23cm Framed and under glass. Note: Investigating the luminosity and tone of flesh, Angela Reilly’s paintings technically exude the precision of an old master, likened to a contemporary Holbein. Unusually, Reilly’s paintings becoming more detailed the larger their scale. Though almost photo-realist in their accuracy, Reilly’s work powerfully communicates what is felt as well as seen; realising the intangible. Reilly believes, "Portraiture is a preservation of ones memory not just preservation of appearance." Born in 1966 Angela Reilly studied Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone from 1984-87. In 1987 she moved to London working as an illustrator. In 1995 she began to concentrate solely on painting, moving back to Glasgow in 2003. Subsequently Reilly has exhibited in National Portrait Gallery, The Scottish Royal Academy and The Royal Glasgow Institute. In 2006 Reilly was commissioned to paint Lord Falconer’s - then The Lord Chancellor’s - portrait; was awarded a prize for portraiture by the National Portrait Gallery BP Prize 2006 and in 2007 featured in a BBC documentary. Angela Reilly's work is widely exhibited in London and Scotland.

* JOHN G BOYD RP RGI (1940 - 2001), FLOWER PIECE oil on canvas, signed; further signed and titled verso 50cm x 50cm Framed and under glass. Provenance: Exhibited and acquired in 1996 at The Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, Eton. Labels verso and original sale ticket with price (£2000). Note: John Boyd was born in Stonehaven, Kincardineshire in 1940. He studied at Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen (1958 - 1962) where he was taught by Robert Henderson Blyth. He briefly studied at Hospitalfield where he met John Byrne and Sandy Fraser, who was to become a lifelong friend. Boyd moved to Glasgow and from 1967 - 1988 he taught at Glasgow School of Art before turning to painting full time. His first solo show was held in Edinburgh in 1967, after which he exhibited regularly at the RA, the RSA, the RGI and RSPP. A major retrospective of his work was held in Glasgow, in 1994. Boyd won numerous awards and was elected a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts in 1982 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1989. His work is held in private collections owned by, among others, the Earl of Moray and Lord MacFarlane as well as numerous corporate collections including The Fleming Collection, Bank of Ireland, Murray Johnson and Arthur Anderson. Public collections include the Paisley Art Gallery, the People's Palace, Glasgow Museums and the Lillie Art Gallery, Milngavie. He was noted for his strongly coloured landscapes, portraits and still life's, mostly in oils, with his best work being produced in the last ten years of his life.

* CLAIRE HARKESS RSW (SCOTTISH B. 1970 - ), POLAR BEAR watercolour on paper, signed, dated 1998 label verso 26cm x 18cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Label verso: Gallery 41, Edinburgh Note 1: In 1998, Claire worked as Artist in Residence with The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. While at Edinburgh Zoo she was filmed as part of the BBC "Ex-S" series and a fascinating documentary about her work was broadcast in November of that year. This work is a portrait of a specific animal at Edinburgh Zoo and it's likely that many Edinburgh residents and visitors to the Zoo will recognise this animal.. Note 2: Claire Harkess was born in Ayr, Scotland, graduating from Glasgow School of Art in the early 1990s. In recent years her painting has taken her to fragile lands to study and interpret life on the edge. Antarctica, Outback Australia and St Kilda are all places where, in such extreme environments, survival is difficult and the balance of life is delicate. Harkess has also worked on the Galápagos Islands, made famous by Charles Darwin’s ‘The Origin of the Species’. This isolated volcanic outpost remained relatively untouched by man, evolving to become one of the World’s unique ecosystems. The balance present in nature is clearly communicated through Claire's paintings. Painting in watercolour or gouache offers a unique directness; the essential qualities of light and energy present in the natural world are the very essence of the medium itself. The delicacy of her palette and oriental economy of her mark-making creates a subtle tension representing a world that is ‘holding still’, giving a sense of freedom, spirit, time and place. Claire's work is exhibited at The Scottish Gallery, where her most recent highly successful solo show was in July 2020, and at other prestigious galleries around the UK.

His work is sometimes macabre, often unsettling and invariably crafted with obsessive care. His unique pictures make conscious references to the European canon of painting as well as metaphysical and surreal art. Julian's critically acclaimed paintings have been shown at the National Portrait Gallery, The Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and The Cabinet Office in Westminster (London).
