GREEK ICON PAINTER

Private ownership, Germany.

When a relationship between a collector and an auction house is nurtured by both sides over decades, and when this is accompanied by an exchange of knowledge and enthusiasm, a special customer relationship develops.

Our company also enjoyed such trust in its relationship with the Cologne-based private collector, from whose estate we are now able to re-market some of the gems of his collection. It is an honour that these objects have now been entrusted to us again by the heirs, thanks to the deep and long-standing relationship between the family and VAN HAM spanning two generations. For other collectors, this presents a rare opportunity to acquire carefully maintained objects that are fresh to the market.

Dutch painting from the 17th to the 19th century, and in particular landscape paintings, formed the centrepiece of the collection. In addition, there was an interest in sacred objects in the form of paintings and sculptures, but also icons.

Ten paintings from four centuries, mainly from Germany and the Netherlands, landscapes, still lifes and genre paintings, but also three sacred wooden sculptures and three icons are now up for auction. Among these, the Adoration of the Magi, attributed to Adriaen Isenbrant (cat. 1054), and the small still life with pears, peaches and cherries by Cornelis de Heem (cat. 1059) are particularly noteworthy.

It is a great pleasure for the Fine Art department to support collections from their inception through to their development and further structuring, providing expert and passionate advice.
