Hieronymus Hopfer - The Worship of Luna / Description: Etching by Hieronymus Hopfer showing the worship of the moon, standing on a pedestal in the middle holding a torch and a crescent. This mysterious subject was first described as Die Macht der Liebe (The Power of Love) by Bartsch but after establishing the connection with the engraving by Monogamist PP from 1500-1520 showing the very same design another explanation came more obvious. As Patricia Emison in 'Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte', XLVIII 1985 describes the central figure is in fact the deity of the moon that could be male during a month with a masculine dedication. On the Ides of August the slaves of Rome were accustomed to gather in festival at the temple of Diana on the Aventine hill. What is shown is plausibly this event. In a setting of some architectural grandeur, offerings are being made to the god by members of an ill-clad and downtrottned crowd amongst what appears to be the tombs of dead. The cast seems to be the defeated of Rome's wars. The etching bears the initials of Hieronymus Hopfer bottom middle on the Jar with a number below it erased. On the backside the duplicate stamp of the Metropolitan Museum in New York and some pencil inscriptions about reference and state. / Dimensions: 21,40 x 29,00 cm / Condition: A good contrasted impression on a dense laid paper, complete with plate border and tread margins.In excellent condition. / Literature: Hollstein / German engravings, etchings and woodcuts c.1400-1700 (39.II) --- Bartsch / Le Peintre graveur (VIII.515.35) --- Reference for Monogrammlist PP : Bartsch / Le Peintre graveur (XIII.357.3.I), Hind 1938-48 / Early Italian Engraving, a critical catalogue (2.I), See Patricia Emison in 'Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte', XLVIII 1985 for the subject / Medium: Etching /Circa: 1530-1560
Albrecht Dürer, Hans Schäufelein, - Christ appearing to St Mary Magdalene / Description: In the foreground of this woodcut with the AD monogram of Dürer, Christ appears standing before the kneeling Saint Mary Magdalene. We recognize her by the anointing pot she is holding with both hands. Christ is making a blessing gesture with his right hand and is leaning on a shovel with his left. A centrally placed tree seems to separate the two figures. Behind the low wall, a landscape in the distance opens on the left, with birds descending towards Christ's cruciform nimbus. To the right the scene shows a building. The print was previously attributed to Dürer (1471-1528)) because of his monogram on the front left of the print, but is currently assigned to his pupil Hans Schäufelein (c.1482-1539/1540). With collectors stamp of Antoine Vivenel (Lugt.190). / Dimensions: 18,00 x 18,20 cm / Condition: Very good condition, trimmed on the image frame, collectors stamp of Antoine Vivenel / Literature: Hollstein / German engravings, etchings and woodcuts c.1400-1700 (20)-----Dodgson 1903, 1911 / Catalogue of Early German and Flemish Woodcuts in the BM, 2 vols (II.19.37)-----Bartsch / Le Peintre graveur (VII.175.8) / Medium: Woodcut /Circa: 1505-1508

During this period Vuillard and his widowed mother shared a series of modest rented apartments in which the artist worked from his ‘studio-bedroom’ while in the dining room Madame Vuillard ran a sewing business… In Vuillard’s small yet absorbing artworks we find a diversity of femininity and feminine experience in domesticity, complex and intimate relationships of care and authority between women and multiple modes of women’s immaterial labour made visible…A woman whose unremarkable life did not otherwise merit historical record-keeping has emerged, via modern art, as compelling object of historical analysis.’Nicola Kalinsky and Francesca Berry, exhibition catalogue for Maman: Vuillard & Madame Vuillard, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham, 2018
