PIETER COECKE VAN AELST (follower) 1502 - 1550: THE HOLY FAMILY WITH AN ANGEL Second quarter of 16th century Oil on wood panel 95 x 42 cm Marked lower center with metal plate on frame: "COLLECTION PRINCE/ ESTER HAZY/ BUDAPEST." Label on back: "PRINCE ESZTERHAZY/ BUDAPEST" and seals This unique panel painting of the Holy Family is a work of exceptional quality that impresses with its deliberate composition outline, harmoniously balanced color, and excellently executed brushwork in the fabric. The individual figures are also charmingly and soulfully portrayed. The figure of the Virgin Mary, as the closest intermediary to God, is here the personification of motherhood, humilityand dedication, sitting at the table dressed in a red cloak and on her lap holding the naked Christ Child, who is clutching at her. The background is divided into two halves. On the right half Joseph is leaning towards the pair through a window that offersa view of the landscape.Pieter Coecke van Aelst was an excellent Flemish painter, sculptor, architect, and designer of wood engravings, goldsmith work, stained windows and tapestries. He worked in Antwerp and Brussels and was appointed court painter to Charles V. He was also a polyglot, translating ancient Roman and modern Italian architectural treatises about architecture into Flemish, French and German.His books played a pivotal role in the dissemination of Renaissance ideas and contributed to the transition from the late Gothic style in Northern Europe. From Italy he returned to Antwerp, where he inherited his father’s very productive workshop. The original The Holy Family with an Angel (right-angle panel, portrait orientation, 95 x 72 cm) is in a private collection. This work by his follower is also of high painterly quality. The subject of the painting was very popular and frequently repeated in various smaller iterations, with various backgrounds, architecture or landscapes or a different interpretation of Mary’s shroud (as documents at the Rijksbureau voor kunsthistorische Documentatie in The Hague demonstrate). The painting accurately characterizes the style of Pieter Coeck, with an ample landscape with tree avenues, a path and houses in the background. The painting's important provenance further increases the value of the painting: it is originally from the Esterhazy collection. Consulted with PhDr. Hana Seifertová.Restored.

ADRIENA ŠIMOTOVÁ 1926 - 2014: A TABLE FOR ANGELS 1991 Paper, plywood, paperboard 66 x 100 x 104 cm Adriena Šimotová’s A Table for Angels was included in the Czech Light and Spirit exhibition in Spain, where the artist presented three “table” installations (A Table from Somewhere, A Magic Table and A Table for Angels). Various iterations of both subjects, whether the table (as a place for rituals and meetings) or angels (our guides and messengers of God), were treated often in her work. Multifaceted work with the nature of an image and the opportunities presented by visual communication were also basic elements in Šimotová’s work. At the turn of the 1970s, after she, as a respected painter, abandoned traditional painting, the defining moments of her art form became perforation, transparency, and layering. She applied frottage in a unique way in her works when depicting people and objects, and worked with stencils, photography and its transforming role in relation to the individual or collective memory.Adriena Šimotová was one of the most respected figures in Czech art and culture in the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Born in a Czech-French family connected with the Masarykian traditions of the First Czechoslovak Republic, she studied at the School of Applied Arts in Prague under Josef Kaplický, where she also met her later husband, Jiøí John, a distinguished printmaker and painter. They belonged to the UB 12 art group alongside Václav Boštík, Stanislav Kolíbal, Vìra Janoušková and Vladimír Janoušek, Alena Kuèerová and others.Adriena Šimotová received many awards for her work in her native country and abroad. Her works are represented in the Albertina and mumok in Vienna, Bibliotheque National and Centre Pompidou in Paris, and in Florence, Geneva, Washington D.C., Chicago and many other galleries and private collections.Restored and filled, consulted with Mgr. Pavel Brunclík from the Adriena Šimotová and Jiøí John Foundation.
