Antique art<\/h5>\n

A kitchen tableau signed in full by Frans Ykens and dated 1649 with hidden erotic undertones was one of the highlights of the auction. The imposing canvas (167 x 235 cm) was still exhibited in 1987 in Ghent (MSK), was given an estimate of \u20ac50-60,000 (lot 6) and closed at double that amount (res.: \u20ac110000).
\nThat Old Masters remain \u2018en vogue\u2019 was also evident from the results for a \u2018Dutch two-master and smaller English ship off rocky coast\u2019 by Aert Anthonisz (lot 4, res.: \u20ac7000), a \u2018Growling dog in pantry\u2019 from the studio of Frans Snijders (lot 7, res. : \u20ac 7500), an Italian floral garland from around 1650 (lot 8, res.:\u20ac 6000), an octagonal rocaille cartouche with floral garland around the tower of Bel\u00e9m in Lisbon dating from the same period (lot 9, res.: \u20ac 11000) or finally for a family portrait attributable to Arnoldus Boonen (1669 – 1729) (lot 11, res.: \u20ac 40000).<\/p>\n

An anonymous panel, from the vicinity of Barend Van Orley, depicting the Madonna and Child (lot 2, res.: \u20ac 30000) matched perfectly with a fine sample of small 16th-century sculpture. The \u2018Standing Virgin and Child\u2019 of c. 1510-1540 (lot 26), entirely Malines-made (both the carving and polychroming were done in the city of the Maneblussers) and mounted – perhaps a connoisseur’s fantasy – on a pedestal surrounded by four alabaster slices, carved in … Malines, was once prominently on display at the Van Herck residence. The \u2018 Malines doll\u2019 leaned heavily towards a specimen from London’s V&A Museum and changed hands for \u20ac16000.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]From the same collection also came a Christ with the Crown of Thorns in walnut, carved c. 1520-1530 in the Meuse region (or Germany). The statue (h.: 50 cm) was estimated between \u20ac8-10,000 (lot 27) but did not sell.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”23827″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”23798″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

19de & 20ste eeuw<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A canvas of interest to Antwerp iconography from 1864 by Ferdinand de Braekeleer the Elder appeared as lot 30. In the 19th century (1864-1865), the Kipdorp gate and the \u2018Spanish\u2019 city walls were demolished to make way for the Antwerp boulevard. De Braekeleer’s snapshot shows busy activity on the bridge and nearby (lumberjacks, porters, curious onlookers). The canvas, in which De Braekeleer ingeniously applied a \u2018raccourci\u2019, tripled its estimate to go to a major Antwerp collector at \u20ac34000.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”23029″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]An 1888 dated canvas, \u2018Sunday on the South Terrace\u2019, by Louis Van Engelen (lot 181) fetched \u20ac 10000 in turn.<\/p>\n

Other hammer prizes: sculptures by Jef Lambeaux (lot 160, res.: \u20ac 4000) and Gambi (lot 73, res.: \u20ac 11000), \u2018plaisirs d’hiver\u2019 by Cornelis Verburgh (lot 28, res.: \u20ac 10000), or another bottle-shaped vase late Ming period (lot 99, res.: \u20ac 10000).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”22691″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Modernity made its appearance in this session at the end of the 19th century with a marine by the acclaimed James Ensor (lot 188, res: \u20ac56000), from the Antwerp doctor Van der Stricht. From the same collection, a \u2018River landscape at dusk\u2019, a small canvas by Emile Claus was hammered off at \u20ac8000 (lot 193). From the same master who is also in the spotlight this year (Deinze, Mudel), we also presented a ravishing little panel from c. 1890, titled \u2018In Vlaenderen\u2019, which was also allocated well past the estimate (lot 192, res: \u20ac42000). Other hammer prices: Floris Jespers (lots 206 and 213, respectively \u20ac17000 and \u20ac20000), Rik Poot (lot 239, res.: \u20ac8000), Valerius De Saedeleer (lot 190, res.: \u20ac8000), Georges Morren (lot 155, res.: \u20ac7800), Demeter Chiparus (lot 149, res.: \u20ac7600), Roger Raveel (lot 253, res.: \u20ac7500), Jacques Charlier (lot 254, res.: \u20ac6500).<\/p>\n

A magnificent silkscreen on mirror plate by Michelangelo Pistoletto (lot 221), entitled \u2018Attesa No. 8\u2019, became the proverbial icing on the cake of this winter auction. This unique \u2018serigrafia\u2019 from 1962-73 where \u2018the future is already contained in the constant mobility of images, in the ever-renewed present of reflection\u2019 (quote M.Pistoletto, 1988), charmed many a collector of work by the still living and relevant artist. The screenprint on polished stainless steel (225 x 125 cm) was finally sold at \u20ac220000 after a battle between five telephone bidders.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”23883″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1668437394849{margin-top: 2% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”23804″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”23853″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
