Master of Antwerp (1485-1491) - Jesus' sermon at sea / Description: Jesus' sermon at sea, Peter and Andrew with the full net. This old colored incunabula woodcut corresponds to the first edition of Ludolphus de Saxonia, "Dat Boeck vanden leven ons lief heeren Ihesu Christi". This first edition was published in 1487 in Antwerp. The woodcut here on auction is similar to RDK IX, 345, Abb. 23. Antwerpen 1487.: Seepredigt Jesu, Petrus und Andreas mit dem vollen Netz.23. Holzschnitt-Ill. (18,3 × 12,8 cm) aus Ludolf von Sachsen a. a. O. (Sp. 339) Bl. K 4v. Antw. (Gerardus Leen) 1487. In fact it is more fresh and with complete intact borderlines so probably an eve earlier impression than the one in RDX Labor. It precedes a variant by the Master of Delft. Due to chronology and style it can be attributed to The Master of Antwerp (Act. 1485-1491). This is confirmed by Sir William Martin Conway in his work 'The Woodcutters of the Netherlands in the Fifteenth Century', page 229 (Folio cut from the First Antwerp Woodcutter: 4.Christ teaching from a boat). This woodcut was only used in 16th century's editions. / Dimensions: 18,30 x 12,80 cm / Condition: Excellent impression with unbroken woodcut lines, tipped with corners on a laid paper collection sheet. Very nice period hand coloring. Gothic Dutch letterpress on the backside in two columns. / Literature: Sir William Martin Conway (1884) The Woodcutters of the Netherlands in the Fifteenth Century: In Three Parts ...page 229 (Conway 10.6:4) ---- "The guilder compass" (1951). Botke, K. --- Prof. Henri Defoer, history of the woodcuts from the Ludolphus editions. ( Jaarboek voor Nederlandse boekgeschiedenis 24/2017) / Medium: Woodcut /Circa: 1487 280

* JAMES HARRIGAN (SCOTTISH b. 1937), SAILING AT ELIE oil on board, signed, titled and dated 2009 label versoframed and under glassimage size 50cm x 75cm, overall size 72cm x 97cmLabel verso: Gullane Art Gallery, Gullane.Note: James Harrigan is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art where he studied Painting and Printmaking between 1956 and 1961. He was born in Ayr in 1937 and has continued to live in Ayrshire all his life. He taught Art for many years and was an inspiring teacher with many of his pupils going on themselves to develop successful careers as artists. In recent years James has spent time in the West Indies and in Brazil but he never tires of painting the landscape and coastline around his Ayrshire home and elsewhere in Scotland. He is known mainly as a landscape artist but his landscapes are almost invariably informed by a human presence and day to day activities, a sense of life being lived. This may be actual figures or it may be a suggestion of human life through buildings, gardens, boats.... He is an expressive painter working mainly in oils, using the rich, luscious quality of the paint to great effect. He exhibits widely and has work in many collections including those of the House of Lords, Glasgow University, P & O Cruises, Wigtownshire Education Trust and the Maclaurin Gallery. He is a past winner of the prestigious Laing Landscape Competition and the Scotsman Art Competition. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 10th November 2022, lot 52 "Girvan Harbour" a 48 x 58cm oil on board (dated 1998) by James Harrigan sold for £2200 (hammer).
