O
ur online sale, Tabelaux 1400-1900, brings together nearly a hundred works of art, primarily from European private collections, and covers 600 years of art history, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
Several schools are represented, from the Italian Renaissance, with works by Mainardi, from Titian's workshop, and the School of Fontainebleau, with an impressive Adoration of the Shepherds, to the art of the Dutch and Flemish Golden Ages, with works by Aert van der Neer, David Teniers, and Jan Pauwel Gillemans.
Rediscoveries, such as a previously unseen ricordo by Nicolas de Plattemontagne for his May of Notre-Dame, or a sketch by François Le Moyne, complete the Old Master paintings section, while the section devoted to 19th-century works emphasizes Symbolism, with a series of drawings by Mellery, as well as an enigmatic painting by Léon Frédéric, a powerful Valkyrie by Johannes Gehrts, and a delicate and subtle Maternity by Eugène Carrière.
Figurative art from the early 20th century closes this sale by opening it to modernity, with an exquisite Toucan by Simon Bussy, a charming painting by Nicolas Eekman, and a stunning Arcadian vision by Suzanne Fabry.
