The Concert Print
The Concert Print
£20.000
This painting has a strong claim to be ter Brugghen's finest treatment of a secular subject. He has taken a scene favoured by Caravaggio & his Roman followers
- a group of flamboyantly dressed musicians seen by candlelight
- & treated it in his own distinctive manner, placing the dramatically lit half-length figures against a light background. Paintings of the same subject by Caravaggio (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art) & Bartolommeo Manfredi (Florence, Uffizi) are among the prototypes for this composition. Their large-scale, half-length figures, their crowding together within the composition & their closeness to the edge of the canvas, as well as the bright, colourful palette can all be found in this painting. Ter Brugghen brings to this existing format an individual fluency in modelling the soft edges of his forms & a remarkable subtlety of palette.

The Consecration Of
Saint Nicholas Print
£20.000
On the eve of the election of the archbishop of Myra in Lycia (Asia Minor) in the 4th century AD, it was revealed to one of the bishops that a young man called Nicholas had been divinely chosen. When Saint Nicholas presented himself at the cathedral the following day he was elected & immediately installed as archbishop. The story is told in The Golden Legend. Veronese has shown the moment of Nicholas's recognition
- or subsequent consecration
- with an angel above bringing his bishop's stole, crozier & mitre. The saint humbly obeys. In 1087 Saint Nicholas's remains were translated to Bari. This work was painted for the altar of Saint Nicholas in S. Benedetto Po, near Mantua, where it was probably installed in 1562.

The Continence Of
Scipio
£20.000
These four pictures are from a series illustrating stories from ancient Roman history. They show (top to bottom): ' The Attack on Cartagena', ' The Continence of Scipio', ' The Rape of the Sabines' & ' The Intervention of the Sabine Women'. Two other pictures from the same series are known: a ' Coriolanus' & a ' Scipio rewarding the Soldiers'. ' The Continence of Scipio' & ' Rape of the Sabines' were popular topics for illustration. The format of the pictures suggests they were made for the decoration of a room. The series is now thought to be the work of a minor Italian painter of the third quarter of the 16th century who was familiar with the work of Giulio Romano & Raphael, on whose styles they depend. ...

The Conversion Of
Mary Magdalene Print
£20.000
The story of the conversion of the Magdalene represented here is not told in the Gospels, but is implied by her actions towards Christ. The work is based on a lost fresco by Federico Zuccaro formerly in the Grimani chapel in S. Francesco della Vigna, Venice, & datable to the early 1560s. The composition was modified to incorporate portraits, presumably of members of Grimani's family. The painting was mentioned in Grimani's will. ...

The Conversion Of Mary Magdalene Print

This early work was probably produced for a noble patron in Verona. There has been much debate over the subject matter; however, it is now generally believed that the painting shows the conversion of Mary Magdalene. Concerned for her sister's spiritual health, Martha takes Mary to the Temple to hear Jesus preach. Veronese shows Mary blushing with shame and sunk to her knees as she is overcome by Christ's words. Her fashionably low-cut dress, inappropriate for a visit to the Temple, is emblematic of her formerly sinful life centered on vanity and pleasure. Converted by this encounter Mary then turns to a life of piety. The jewellery slipping from her neck foreshadows her subsequent renunciation of worldly goods. The scene depicted is absent from the Bible and the Golden Legend but
narrated in Pietro Aretino's book 'L'umanità di Cristo' (1535). This publication was widely read in Northern Italy and probably constitutes the literary source for the painting.
