"Johannes der Täufer mit dem Widder" nach Caravaggio1602 schuf Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) sein heute in den Kapitolinischen Museen in Rom verwahrtes Gemälde "Der Heilige Johannes der Täufer - Knabe mit Widder", das Gemälde war ein Auftragswerk für die Privatsammlung des römischen Marchese Ciriaco Mattei, der das Gemälde im Inventar seiner Sammlung und seinem Testament (1623) als "Giovanni Battista [Johannes der Täufer]" erwähnte und es nach seinem Tod dem Kardinal Francesco Maria Bourbon Del Monte (1549-1927), einem frühen Förderer Caravaggios vererbte, die provokante wie sinnliche Darstellung des Heiligen als nackten, geradezu erotisch wirkenden Straßenjungen, war seinerzeit ein Skandal und wurde wegen Verstoßes gegen das Decorum der Zeit von den Sittenwächtern abgelehnt, das nicht eindeutig auf biblischer Überlieferung beruhende Motiv irritierte, da die wesentlichsten Attribute des Johannes, bis auf Fellschurz und roten Mantel, fehlen, darüber hinaus wird Johannes sonst in Gegenwart eines Lammes, welches als "Agnus Dei [Lamm Gottes]" für Jesus steht, dargestellt, im vorliegenden Motiv lässt Caravaggio seinen Johannes einen unverkennbar ausgewachsenen männlichen Widder umarmen, das in trefflicher Hell-Dunkel-Malerei [Chiaroscuro] und bestechendem Naturalismus erfasste Gemälde mit seiner unkonventionellen, doch intensiven Bildsprache faszinierte ob seiner höchsten künstlerischen Qualität die Zeitgenossen und transportierte so unter dem Deckmantel eines Heiligengemäldes eine nahezu unverhohlene Homoerotik, welcher der Künstler und wohl auch der Auftraggeber selbst anhingen, feine, gering pastose Kopie, nahezu in Originalgröße, Öl auf Leinwand und Keilrahmen, links unten undeutlich signiert und datiert "2009", ungerahmt, Falzmaße ca. 131 x 97 cm.

* GILLIAN GOODHEIR DA (SCOTTISH 1945 - 2022),BLUE DELPHINIUMSgouache on paper, signed and dated '06, titled label versoimage size 67cm x 57cm, overall size 99cm x 88cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Note 1: a large and very fine example of Gillian Goodheir's work.Comment: It was with sadness that we learnt of the sudden passing of Gillian Goodheir in January 2022.Note: Gillian Goodheir was one of Scotland's best-loved artists and a regular exhibitor at good galleries around Scotland and the North of England. She was born in Glasgow and studied at Glasgow School of Art, specialising in Drawing and Painting. She graduated in 1967 then took a Post Diploma. She then taught art in Glasgow but in 1975 she and her husband moved to mid-Argyll where she lived and worked. Gillian Goodheir's paintings reflect her surroundings, the ever-changing weather and light in the west of Scotland but also the south of France where she spent a lot of time, when she could. As well as landscape she excelled in Still Life, combining flowers, textiles and decorative objects. Her preferred medium was gouache which she handled in a fluid spontaneous style, capturing light and colour. Her work is in collections throughout the U.K. (including six works in the Permanent Collection of the Palace of Westminster, London) as well as in the U.S.A., Canada, Hong-Kong, Holland, France and New Zealand.
* SHEILA MACMILLAN DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2018),AYRSHIRE COASToil on canvas, signed and dated '77, titled label versoimage size 26cm x 36cm, overall size 33cm x 43cm Framed and under glass. Handwritten artist's label verso.Note: Sheila Macnab Macmillan was born in Glasgow in 1928. She attained a degree in Geography at Glasgow University and went on to train as a teacher. However, she had always painted and her talent was strongly encouraged by her uncle the distinguished Iain Macnab RE ROI (1890 - 1967) who persuaded Sheila to come to London and train under him. Iain Macnab had been Principal at Heatherley's Art School (1925 - 1940) and then went on to be founding Principal of the hugely influential Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Sheila's London influences and Glasgow School foundations evolved into a distinctive and individual style. She usually worked "en plein air" and her work is semi abstract. She focused mainly on landscape where her training as a geographer, allowed her to use her understanding of land formation, the delicate balance of the seasons and the interaction between Man and the environment. Her uncle's concept of "rhythm" is evident in Sheila's work and remained a constant throughout her career. She painted in Scotland, Spain. France and Italy and exhibited widely especially in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Newcastle. Her work appeared frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute annual exhibitions and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London). She won numerous awards and prizes over a long and distinguished career. Recent examples of Sheila Macmillan's paintings in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auctions have included prices of £1700, £1400, £1100, £900, £850 & £800 (all hammer prices) which well illustrates the depth of collector interest in Sheila Macmillan's work.

* PAM CARTER DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1952 - 2022),GULLS, KILORAN BAY (Isle of Colonsay)oil on canvas, signed, titled versoimage size 50cm x 60cm, overall size 69cm x 79cm Framed and under glass. Note 1: It was with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Pam Carter in May after an illness which she wrote about to her database of buyers on 24th June 2021: "I feel at last I am retiring somewhat due to ill health. I am not painting very much these days as I am struggling with the daily regime of chemo tablets; it’s hard getting the balance of effective medication and quality of life".Note 2: Pam Carter was born in Tanganyika, East Africa to an Austrian mother and Scottish father. At the age of thirteen, she came to Scotland where she schooled at Bearsden Academy. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in the seventies. "My main inspiration as an artist is in the Scottish landscape and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific viewpoints. I am equally inspired by the rugged isolation of the Western Isles and the dramatic viewpoints of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil". Pam Carter was unquestionably one of Scotland's most popular and successful contemporary artists. She won numerous awards and prizes, always received significant media attention, has been the subject of many magazine features and had several tv appearances. Her work is widely exhibited but rarely appears at auction. However, in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 17th April 2022 lot 38 "Luskentyre Reflections" a 46 x 51cm oil by Pam Carter sold for £2000 (hammer) and in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 10th July 2022 lot 230 "Gables Geary" sold for £2600 (hammer).Comment: Pam was a special artist and one who enjoyed wide popularity and substantial commercial success. In all our dealings with Pam over the years, she was always generous with her time and quick to provide the background to paintings we had received from private consignors and filling in gaps about locations, dates etc. Pam's work is instantly recognisable and she had that rare gift, even among the best artists, of being able to use the minimum of brushwork to create the maximum visual effect. Her "lines" were those of the natural environment but she knew exactly how to "see" them and portray them on canvas. Despite her commercial success, or perhaps even because of it, Pam's work probably hasn't yet reached the full audience that it so richly deserves. She exhibited frequently at numerous galleries in Scotland and gallery owners were inevitably in a queue to secure her work. Typically, Pam showed loyalty to those who were the first to support her when she was a relative unknown. Talented artists always wish to be remembered by their work and Pam Carter can be certain of that, but she'll also be remembered with great affection by all those who had the good fortune to meet her or know her.

Julius Seyler: München 1873-1955. Maler von Landschaften und Tiermotiven, Darstellungen des arbeitenden Volkes auf dem Lande, von Meer und Küste sowie der Welt der nordamerikanischen Indianer. Vertreten in zahlreichen Museen.Seit 1882 Studium an der Münchner Akademie, zunächst bei Julius Diez , danach bei Ludwig von Herterich und Heinrich von Zügel. In der Motivwelt Julius Seylers wie in seiner pleinairistischen Landschafts-Erfassung wird der Einfluss von Zügels deutlich. Ihm geht es um die malerische Übersetzung der Atmosphäre der Natur in einer Landschaft. Das Ganze, das Kosmische (Kroll B., S. 14), soll in seinen Gemälden spürbar werden. Typisch für die Malerei von Julius Seyler, der sich als „Freilichtmaler“ sieht, ist die extreme Reduktion der ihn umgebenden, gesehenen Natur auf Farb- und Licht-Werte.Motiv: Leda mit dem Schwan, der sich mit ausgebreiteten Flügeln der Unbekleideten erotisch nähert und sie schließlich schwängert. Zeus, in die Königstochter Leda verliebt, hatte sich in die Gestalt eines Schwans verwandelt, um sich Leda nähern zu können. U. a. Leonardo da Vinci und Michelangelo hatten die Erzählung aus der griechischen Mythologie künstlerisch in (heute nicht mehr existierenden) Gemälden gestaltet. Öl auf Karton, unten rechts signiert „J. Seyler“, 12 x 17 cm, unter Glas gerahmt. Pastoser Farbauftrag in gedeckter Tonalität, in dekorativem Rahmen. Akademisch ausgeprägter Pinselduktus in impressionistischer Manier.Lit.: Thieme/Becker, Bd. 30, S. 554; B. Kroll, Julius Seyler , Berlin 1940.

Mel Crawford (Canadian, B. 1925) "Italy" Signed lower right. Original watercolor painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the U.N. 20c Italy Flags of the U.N. Series stamp issued September 21, 1984. For many years, the history of Italy was the history of western civilization. Centered in the capital, Rome, the Romans built an extensive empire which included much of Europe and the Mediterranean area. The Roman Catholic Church also began in Rome . . . and the administrative center of the Church and residence of the Pope -- Vatican City -- is located at the heart of the ancient city of Rome. For more than two thousand years, Italy has produced leaders in architecture, painting, sculpture and other fine arts. Great Italian artists include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. The Renaissance of the arts, literature and music began and reached its highest peak in Italy . . . and during that time the city of Venice became the economic center of the Mediterranean. Known at the height of its power as the "Queen of the Adriatic," this romantic city of canals and gondolas supported successful explorers like Marco Polo. Because of the country's rich history and interesting cities like Rome and Venice, the nation has become the tourist center of modern Europe. Visitors from around the world come to see the buried city of Pompeii, to relax on the warm sunny beaches of the Mediterranean or to ski in the towering Alps and Apennines of the northern part of the country. A nation rich in history and culture and a favorite vacation spot for all of Europe -- the beautiful nation of Italy continues to be an enchanting and delightful gem of the Mediterranean Sea.
