Flemish school of the 17th century.Pair of "Country scenes".Oil on canvas.With documentation of Fine Art, Restoration Co.Size: 48 x 64 cm; 60 x 75.5 cm (frame).The works show idealised landscapes: a series of trees mark a series of pronounced vertical lines, only slightly counterbalanced by the lines of the land and its hills. Both depict characters in the foreground, all individualised in their attire, gestures and postures, as does the white horse in one of the works. The relatively high viewpoint allows more distance to be shown towards the background and much more detail of the terrain. The taste for the anecdotal is shown in figures and details with no apparent relationship between them, and in the absence of a subject of importance to justify the landscape, something that is characteristic of both the period and the school to which the painting belongs. The construction of successive planes was common in Flemish painting from the 15th century onwards.In the West, landscape painting did not appear as a fully independent genre in art until almost the 17th century, thanks to Dutch painting (especially Jacob van Ruysdael). It was treated as a mere backdrop in the Middle Ages until the Renaissance began to show interest in it. It is striking to note the large production of the period, which was aimed at the increasingly wealthy urban bourgeoisie, an abundance of works and a proliferation of pictorial genres. One of these genres was landscape, which developed greatly from the 17th century, a time when it had not yet appeared as an independent theme, without needing the presence of an anecdote in order to exist.Like other genres that became very popular in Flanders during the 17th century, landscape painting has its roots in the Dutch pictorial tradition of the 15th century. The background landscapes in the religious works of Van Eyck, de Bouts and van der Goes occupy a much more important place as an artistic element in these works than landscape painting in Italian painting of the same period. With regard to the representation of the narrative, the landscape of the Flemish Primitives plays an essential role, not only as a natural setting for the characters but also to separate and set the various episodes of the story narrated in the work. With regard to the imitation of nature, 15th-century Flemish painters sought to depict the countryside and towns of their native country in their religious landscapes, detailing their flora with botanical precision and even giving an idea of the time of day and the season of the year in which the scene takes place. This special interest in depicting the landscape increased as the 16th century progressed, when a new type of landscape was developed and popularised for sacred scenes: the panoramic view. Very soon, however, it was the depiction of the landscape itself that was to receive the attention of painters and, of course, of the public. In the panoramic views of Joachim Patinir and his followers the roles are reversed: the religious subject is an excuse for the landscape. In these paintings the landscape becomes completely independent of any narrative, and this is the direction that the Flemish and Dutch painters of the late 16th and early 17th centuries were to follow, a time when landscape painting became very popular in the Low Countries and specialists in the genre began to proliferate. Gillis van Coninxloo, Paul Bril, Jan Brueghel the Elder and Joos de Momper are the most distinguished landscape painters of the transition from the 16th to the 17th century, and each of them gave their vision of landscape a very personal stamp.

A commemorative Coco De Mer mounted for the Independence of the Seychellesthe unpolished nut mounted on a wooden base with applied white metal plaque inscribed SEYCHELLES INDEPENDENCE 29TH JUNE 1976, 31cm high, 26cm deep, 19cm deepFootnotes:The coco de mer (Lodoicea maldivica) is a palm found only in the islands of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles. The fruit, which requires six to seven years to mature (and a further two years to germinate), is sometimes called the 'Sea Coconut', 'Double Coconut', 'Coco Fesse' or 'Seychelles Nut'.This nut was believed to have been a sea-bean or drift seed, the latter being a seed that is designed to be dispersed by the sea. However, it is now known that the nut is too heavy to float, and that only rotten nuts can be found on the sea surface, which explains why the trees are limited in range to just two islands.Until the true source of the nut was discovered in 1768, many believed that it grew on a mythical tree at the bottom of the sea. In the 16th century, the European aristocracy decorated their coco de mers with precious jewels, and treasured them in their private galleries and 'cabinets of curiosities'.The sailors who first saw the nut floating in the sea imagined that they resembled a woman's buttocks. This fanciful association is reflected in the plant's archaic botanical name, 'Lodoicea callipyge'; 'callipyge' meaning 'beautiful rump' in Greek.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
