Look closely at Maria Kreyn’s paintings and you might spot ghostly shapes and lines, woven into her dramatic seascapes.

According to the artist, these geometric forms evoke portals and eggs, symbols of the rebirth and possibilities offered by the landscape.

See these works in Kreyn’s solo exhibition Continuum in our Milan gallery, until 8 May.

Old Master in focus: Antonio Ponce (1608–1662)

Antonio Ponce was a Spanish artist who trained as a traditional still life painter in Madrid. Over time he developed a unique style that was characterised by light backgrounds – unusual in the 17th century – and a less rigid placements of objects than his forebears.

This still life, unknown to scholars until the past decade, is a fine example of the artist’s skill and authentic visual language. Ponce depicts an informal arrangement of fruit and flowers on a stone table, set against a plain grey background, with gentle illumination from upper left.

While the woven basket and stone pedestal show the influence of Caravaggio, Ponce’s own interpretation of the genre shines throughout work.

See this painting in our London gallery, alongside a selection of works from the Renaissance to the 19th century.

The recent publication Collezione Girolamo Etro: Marmi e Bronzi celebrates one of the world’s most distinguished private collections of marble and bronze sculptures. To mark this occasion, we revisit the late 1990s, when Marco Voena discovered Alessandro Algardi’s bust of Ambrogio Spinola, now featured on the book’s front cover, and brought it into the Etro collection.

Shown here are Marco Voena and Gerolamo Etro at his home, standing before this remarkable sculpture.

Continuum, an exhibition of new paintings by Maria Kreyn, opens in Milan next Thursday.

Seven abstracted seascapes by the American artist will be placed alongside a historic watercolour by J.M.W. Turner, creating a dialogue between Kreyn’s impassioned vistas and the visionary approach to landscape as embodied by the English Romantic painter.

The artist explains:

“In Turner’s delicate watercolor, we see a city looking towards a portal, into an expansive gateway between the mountains. I can imagine how travelers traversed this same radiant passageway over many centuries, all passing through the wild Alpine nature, which opens to the warm Italian landscape on the other side.
The works in this exhibition are filled with visualizations of portals, geometries, and eggs, all for me symbols of entering new realities and channeling greater source. Hence the title Continuum—evoking constant regeneration, rebirth, repetition, and a continued dialog with history—knowing that so many human minds before us have viewed the same natural expanses and shared, over time, a similar sublime emotion.”

To wrap up the fair, we rather liked this shot of our booth that hints at an underlying theme connecting some of our works… Can you see the connection? Let us know in the comments! 🔍

TEFAF spotlight: Lucio Fontana, Donna allo specchio (1950–51)

Within our booth at Maastricht is a section dedicated to Lucio Fontana, featuring his pioneering paintings and sculptures.

Among the selection is this delicate ceramic, Donna allo specchio (Woman at the mirror).

The work was created in 1950–51, shortly after the artist returned to Italy from Argentina. The figure bridges his traditional training as a sculptor and his Spatialist investigations, precise figuration giving way to loose undulations that test the conventional boundaries of the medium.

Donna allo specchio, glazed with gentle highlights of blues and gold, is a rare example of Fontana treating this subject in his sculptural practice. Only two other such works are known, both dating from 1948.

See this work on Stand 350 at TEFAF Maastricht.

It’s just a few days until TEFAF Maastricht, where Robilant+Voena will present works covering 500 years of European art history.

Over the coming week, we will be focussing on a few highlights from our selection, across Old Masters, Modern and Contemporary.

Today’s TEFAF spotlight is a painting by Luca Giordano: the dramatic Samson and Delilah. Dating from the 1650s, the painting reflects a moment in Giordano’s career where the Neapolitan looked to the great artists of the Venetian Renaissance, including Titian, Tintoretto and Jacopo Bassano. Here, the influence of Titian in particular is clear in elements such as the strong tonal contrast and the vigorous brushwork.

The provenance of the picture adds another layer of interest; in the 17th century it belonged to the Flemish merchant and visionary art patron Gaspar Roomer (d. 1674), who amassed a magnificent collection of Roman, Neapolitan and Flemish paintings including works by Anthony van Dyck, Simon Vouet, Jusepe de Ribera, Carlo Saraceni and, of course, Luca Giordano.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today we are focusing on Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 – after 1654), the most celebrated female artist of the 17th century, and one of the most famous women painters in European art history.

After training with her father Orazio, Artemisia soon established her own independent practice as a painter, which was extremely uncommon for women at the time.

Her astute self-promotion and her attention to the latest artistic styles between Rome, Florence, Venice and Naples enabled her to create captivating pictures which reflected her innovation and skill, earning recognition at the highest levels across Europe, among royalty, nobility and the Church.

Artemisia Gentileschi’s compositions often featured prominent female protagonists, exemplified by these two pictures. The sensuous Penitent Magdalene reflects her sensitive approach to paint, while the Self-Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria – sold by Robilant+Voena to the National Gallery, London, in 2018 – is a bold statement of her personal resilience and aptitude.

Gentileschi’s Penitent Magdalene is one of the outstanding pictures that Robilant+Voena will present at TEFAF Maastricht, Stand 350.
