Italian school; 18th century."Transitus of the Virgin.Oil on canvas. Antique re-colouring.Presents restorations.It conserves a period frame.Measurements: 63 x 49 cm; 76 x 61 cm (frame).Displaced from the centre of the scene, rests the figure of the virgin with closed eyes and lying on a bed. The presence of the afflicted apostles at the feet of the figure of the Virgin and the appearance of the angels indicate that this is a representation of the passage of the Virgin. This theme became popular during the Baroque period and later, due to the Counter-Reformation, which led the Christian religion to resort to various passages from the life of the Virgin. Particularly notable in the work is the great magnificence of the architecture that forms the scene.Byzantine art is the originator of the theme of the Passage of the Virgin, and with it, it became extremely popular, even enjoying a fixed place in the decoration of church interiors, at the foot of the church, a place later occupied by the representation of the Last Judgement. This Byzantine model spread throughout the West around the year 1000, so that it soon became the most common way of representing not only the passage of the Virgin's soul from earth to heaven, but also that of the body, i.e. the theme of the Assumption. For the depiction of the passage of the Virgin, artists drew inspiration from apocryphal sources, as there is no mention of it in the canonical Gospels. To designate the death of the Virgin, the Byzantines speak of dormition or "koimesis", which means to sleep, to rest in the Lord. In the West, on the other hand, the word "transit" is used to indicate that her death is not real, but the passage to eternal life.

A FINE AND RARE PAIR OF PAINTED WOOD BRIDAL FIGURES, LORO BLONYOEast Java, late 19th to early 20th century. Each figure is superbly carved with angular proportions, wearing a fine sarong richly decorated with diapered patterns, secured by a belt tied around the waist. Their faces with almond-shaped eyes, gently arched eyebrows, and full lips. Their headdresses are quite different, hers in the form of a tiara and his in the form of two overlapping headbands. (2)Provenance: From a private collection in Jakarta, Indonesia, acquired in 1984. The collection of Alexander Goetz, acquired from the above in 2018. Alexander Goetz is a noted German art expert and collector who specializes in Indonesian works of art. As a young man, he built and sailed wooden boats around the world, and eventually arrived in Bali in 1971. Within a year, he became involved in the local art scene and in 1975, he was sponsored by the Indonesian Institute of Science to do research on contemporary art in Bali. In 1990, Goetz and his family moved to London where he opened a gallery specializing in Southeast Asian art, with Indonesia as the main focus. Since 2015, Alexander Goetz has run Gallery 101, a dedicated art space in Kabupaten Badung, Bali.Condition: Very good condition with old wear, distinct signs of weathering and erosion, minor losses, age cracks, worm holes, loss of pigments, possibly minor touchups.Weight: 6.7 kg and 6.1 kg Dimensions: Height 71.5 cm and 70.5 cmThis pair of figures represents Dewi Sri, the rice harvest goddess, and her consort Sadono. Dewi Sri is a deity associated with fertility and prosperity due to her connections to rice and rice harvest. The figures hark back to pre-Islamic culture on Java and later were incorporated into the syncretic ritual practices of the Javanese. Traditionally, the figures were placed at the base of the canopied wedding bed (krobongan) to promote a prosperous marriage. This practice was initially restricted to royal and aristocratic families but the custom later spread to other societal groups. Once the wedding ceremony had taken place, the figures were removed and replaced by the bride and groom themselves.Expert's note: The present Loro Blonyo figures were worked in the distinct style of the Nganjuk court, which existed until the end of the 19th century, located between Ponorogo and Kediri, and was connected to the Kediri court. The Nganjuk style is probably the rarest of all palace styles in Java. It combines the sophisticated angular body shape from Ponorogo with the naturalistic portrait-style faces of Kediri.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related pair of Loro Blonyo figures, 50.8 cm and 54 cm high, dated “perhaps 1900-1950”, in the collection of the Asian Art Museum San Francisco, object number 2016.287.a-.b.
