Framed Rubbing of 1550 Brass Monument in Grote Kerk Church, Breda, Netherlands

Unknown

About the Item

This is an engraving of a tomb monument rubbing that has been highlighted with gold color on a dark grey to black background. The rubbing is of a brass plaque on a stone slab. It has inscriptions along the edges and an angel with a halo holding a chalice and shield. The inscription reads "Hoc saxo tegitur corpus honorabilis viri domini Adriani Roelandi Bartholomei alias Heys, sacellani huius ecclesie, qui obiit Anno Domini 1550 Iulii die septima" (Covered by this stone is the body of the honorable man, Sir Adrianus son of Roelandt Bartholomeus, alias Heys, priest of this church, who died in the year of Our Lord 1550 on the seventh day of July). Along with images of the print in this listing, an image of the actual tomb with the brass plaque is included. The tomb is in the Grote Kerk or Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady), which is a prominent landmark in Breda, in the southern portion of the Netherlands. The oldest record of a stone church in Breda is from 1269. The construction of this church was begun in 1410. It was completed in 1457 but the tower collapsed in 1468. The reconstruction of the tower was completed in 1509. Although in use, additional construction projects continued until 1547. The Reformation ended the church as a Catholic place of worship in 1566 and it transitioned to Protestant in 1637. The print is presented in a distinctive ornate black wood frame with a scalloped gold inner edge or fillet. The deep dark mauve mat is highlighted with a marbled gold fillet. The frame measures 32.25" x 32.5" x 1.5". It can be hung in a square or diamond orientation. The latter orientation places the angel in an upright position and is the orientation of the plaque on the monument. The print is in excellent condition.

  • The Gift of the Magi: An 18th C. Religious Engraving by Vale, After Calmarat
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This is a very rare early 18th century old master religious themed engraving entitled "Les Mages...Trouverent l'Enfant avec Marie sa Mere, et se prosternant entere ils l'adorent Puis ouvrant leurs tresors ils tuy offrirent pour present de lor de l'encens et de la myrrhe" by S. Vale after Calmaret, published in Paris by Pierre Drevet (1663-1738). The scene depicts the Magi bowing before Jesus, who is held by his mother Mary, and bringing him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to demonstrate their adoration and respect. Winged cherubs fly overhead and a ray of light is focused on the spiritual couple. A cattle stall and buildings are in the background and a crown and scepter are dropped in the foreground, symbolically demonstrating that these nobles place Jesus above their titles and rank. Little is known about the artist Calmarat or the engraver S...

  • Trichromatic Flower-piece, Richard Hamilton multi color flower still life
    By Richard Hamilton
    Located in New York, NY
    According to Gesine Tosin, Richard Hamilton irritated contemporary critics in the 1970s with a series of works -- romantic images of flowers, still lifes and landscapes, interspersed with scatological motifs. "Once exhibited, the critics regarded the paintings as evidence either of a kinky sexual aberration or an early onset of senility." (Hamilton 1982, p.79. ) Trichromatic flower-piece is one of these works, which questioned the categories of high and low art through its appropriated imagery. In the words of Richard Hamilton: “The Shit and Flowers series was was inspired in a sense by Barcelona, walking on the Ramblas where thousands of postcards are displayed. (…) I bought three pictures of flowers. I took them back to Cadaqués and began to play about with them, at first by putting a little paint on the surface.” According to Andrew Kim Tyler: “Working at Atelier Crommelynck, Paris in 1973-4, Hamilton used a traditional still life subject, a bouquet of flowers, to pursue his interest in the combination of photographic images with planes of color and hand-drawn aspects, but subverting the image with addition of a large turd. Perversely he set out to produce by manual means an etching with the characteristics of a commercially made reproduction resulting in Trichromatic flower-piece.” In addition to the edition of Trichromatic Flower-piece, Hamilton printed...
