LOUIS DE CAULLERY (Caullery, circa 1580 - Antwerp, 1621)."At the Gates of the Church.Oil on canvas. Re-tinted.It presents slight restorations.Measurements: 45 x 62 cm; 56 x 73 cm (frame).Louis de Caullery was a painter with a special mastery for the representation of crowds gathered in front of official events, congregations of all kinds, court festivities and popular meetings. This is splendidly demonstrated in this painting of a Flemish subject, in which the arrival of the kings has brought the whole city together in front of the church. Lively groups of people are seen with gestures and gestures, rich attire and humble clothes, as all social classes attend the event. We see a horse drinking from a stone fountain, royal banners announcing their arrival, courtiers at the gates of the Baroque church, boats docking in the harbour with the flag of the Netherlands unfurled.Louis de Caullery was a French painter who began his artistic training in Caullery in 1594 as an apprentice to Joos de Momper in the guild of Saint Luke, where he was enrolled as a master in 1602/1603. Despite his training alongside Momper, Caulery's work is closer to Mannerist sophistication than to Baroque naturalism. He was clearly influenced by some of the engravings of Hans Vredeman de Vries in particular, from whom he borrowed the whimsical architectural backgrounds. His work also displays similar characteristics to the painting of the artist Frans Francken II, which can be seen especially in the anatomical treatment of the figures, although in Caullery they are always represented as a volumetric aesthetic, both in the courtly and allegorical scenes, which form the most interesting part of his output. Caullery favoured genre painting and painted a wide variety of scenes: carnivals on ice, fireworks, bullfights, open-air collections, allegories of the five senses and encounters painted in the spirit of the Fontainebleau school. The height of his figures, their exquisite postures, soft faces and bare foreheads characterise his style. His colours are very sophisticated. Influenced by the Italian masters, his palette proved to be an innovation in Flanders: half-tones, yellow ochre, Veronese green and burgundy red. His depiction of buildings shows that he is concerned with great precision, while he is very skilful at presenting perspective.
Flemish school, 19th century. CCopy of part of the triptych of by Jan Floreins (1479), by HANS MEMLING (Seligenstadt, c.1423/1443- Bruges, 1494)."Saint Baptist and The Veronica.Diptych. Pair of oil paintings on panel.Frames from the 17th century.Measurements: 40 x 20 cm (each panel); 53.5 x 33.5 cm (frames).This pair of panels is a copy of the paintings that Hans Memling painted on the back of the Triptych by Jan Floreins (conserved in the hospital of St. John in Bruges (Belgium), which are shown with the triptych closed. The Nativity, the Adoration and the Presentation to the Temple preside on the obverse, while the two saints under beautiful Gothic arches dominate the reverse: John the Baptist on the left panel and Saint Veronica on the right. The pair of panels shown here are faithful to the original in every detail: the Baptist points to the Lamb at his feet; Veronica holds a cloth with the Holy Face. The lake landscape, composed in a wide panoramic view, depicts the theme of Christ's baptism in the Jordan. It is a representation that continues from one panel to the next, in the same way that the Agnus Dei on the left panel is symbolically linked to the Passion of Christ, which is foreshadowed by the image printed on the saint's cloth. Stylistically, the painter of this pair of copies remains faithful to Memling's soft, delicate style, the stylisation of his figures and his magnificent colouring, with a prevalence of emerald and glaucous tones. The detailed, almost miniaturist attention to detail in the vegetation and in the rendering of the bodies and drapery harmonises with an atmospheric creation based on shades of blue that are subtly densified in the distance. The figures in the background (Christ being baptised, John and the archangel) blend naturally into their surroundings. A trompe l'oeil architectural frame, with small statuettes (representing Adam and Eve) that seem to come to life on either side of the pointed arches, frames both scenes. All this is present in the original panels. The painter has succeeded in recreating the harmonious purification of forms and emotions that defined Memling's painting. The Flemish painter had been inspired by Rogier van der Weyden's Triptych of Saint Columba, but Memling softened his master's inheritance. This pair of panels must also have been based on the small diptych of Saint John the Baptist and Veronica painted by Memling around 1483. The two panels are now in separate collections (the Baptist in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, the Veronica in the National Gallery of Art, Washington). On that occasion Memling located the saints in a rocky setting, but their attitudes and gestures were very similar to those of the triptych. This is a worthy tribute to the legacy of Flemish painting, from the early heirs of Van Eyck and his unusual sense of light and colour to the dreamlike landscapes of the 17th century.

Cabinet; Germany, 1820.Mahogany wood with rosewood decoration and mahogany and brass columns.It retains keys and has removable shelves.It has scratches, slight restorations on the right door and the loss of four drawers.Measurements: 192 x 162 x 53,5 cm.Cabinet made of mahogany wood, with an architectural structure of two bodies, topped by a cornice or coping with finials at the corners. It is worth noting that the corners are decorated with a classically inspired column-like decoration with grooves. Inside, there are several compartmentalised spaces, designed to house the drawers that are no longer preserved. The drawer space is accessed through two hinged doors that lead to the interior space. This is characterised by two hinged doors, in each of the bodies that make up the wardrobe.
Bureau à batain; Napoleon III period, second half of the 19th century.Porcelain plate on paper and gilt bronze appliques.Keys are preserved.It shows chips, wear and tear and one leg is dislocated.Measurements: 140 x 73.5 x 33 cm.Wooden piece of furniture, combined with a porcelain plate and gilded bronze appliqués. The piece of furniture stands on four chamfered legs and an entablature decorated with masks inspired by Greco-Roman designs and filleted with mixtilinear shapes. This piece of furniture faithfully follows the models of the marquetry of the period, with light, synthesised motifs of dense design, derived from the designs made for Louis XIV. The presence of bronze applications is also typical of Boulle's creations for the French court, and even the architectural details of the structure seem to derive directly from baroque models.
19th century table clock.Bronze, ebonised wood and porcelain dial.Measurements: 66 x 34 cm.Table clock made for the Turkish market, with ebonised wood structure, applied bronze decorations and porcelain dial, with Turkish numerals for hours and minutes in black and openwork hands. The design is historicist in style, inspired by pieces from the Baroque period, hence the combination of an architectural structure of mixtilinear forms and emphatic volumes with the application of bronze. Also typical of the decorative arts of the Baroque period was a taste for contrasting qualities, colours and textures, hence the use of contrasting materials such as ebony, bronze, tortoiseshell and ivory. The clock stands on a stepped base, supported on cut-out legs (the bronze front legs) and decorated with classical relief mouldings in bronze and, on the front, with a chiselled, openwork and cut-out plaque with a composition of sinuous stems, leaves and bunches of grapes. The body of the clock rises above this base, open at the bottom to form a curved-sided recess, flanked by openwork bronze plaques similar to the base. The dial is set in a frame formed by sunbursts, directly inspired by French models from the time of Louis XIV, the Sun King. On both sides of the case are vertical bodies that stand out in plan and are decorated with openwork plaques, mouldings with reliefs, pinjantes, classical vase-shaped finials and openwork side rosettes as handles, all in bronze with Baroque vegetal motifs. Finally, the piece is crowned by a cup-shaped body also decorated with bronze appliqués, which stand out against the black background of the ebonised wood, and culminates in a large classical vase with relief decorations.
Clock, Louis XV style; France, second third of the 18th century.Boulle marquetry, brass applications.Needs to be reworked.It has important faults.It still has a key.No box.Measurements: 93 x 47 x 20 cm.The watch has a gilt dial, with Roman numerals enamelled in cobalt blue on a white dial. The design follows the models created by André Charles Boulle (1642-1732) during the reign of Louis XIV. It is decorated with the artist's own marquetry, in ebony and metal, and important motifs in relief and rounded bulge, including figurative elements, which in the case of Boulle's furniture were carved pieces in wood, here already applied bronzes more typical of the style of the period. The decoration is completely Baroque, in the style of the French decorative arts of the last period of Louis XIV's reign. This is because this period was key in the development of the decorative arts in the period of Louis XVI, as designers and artists turned their gaze to the Regency style, the transition from Baroque (classical) to Rococo (anti-classical), in search of formulas for the transition from the Rococo style to the new Neoclassical. Thus, we see a great importance of classicist figuration, with allegorical figures adorning the front and the finial, as well as fantastic figuration derived from baroque chinoiserie, an architectural structure that is also baroque, chromatic contrast typical of Boulle and a profusion of motifs such as turnstones, leaves, masks and classical vases that seem to have been taken directly from the ornamental background of French classicist baroque. Even the basic material, ebony wood, can be related to that period, as it was the most popular wood in Baroque furniture. However, the profusion of gilding speaks of a different period, somewhere between the neoclassical and the Empire.

By the end of May 1773 Huber had completed the manuscript plan in pen and wash on 42 sheets (now held in the Albertina), however the printed plan was not ready until 1778. The Baroque city is shown with an exceptional level of detail and accuracy, with the heights of the buildings plotted upwards true to scale on an undistorted plan.
