LAMBERT DE HONDT (c. 1620 - 1665). "Kermesse". Oil on canvas. Preserves original canvas. Signed in the lower central area. Measurements: 59 x 82 cm; 71 x 94 cm (frame). The canvas shows a rural scene in which some peasants celebrate a party with food, wine and different games in front of a house. Thus recreating a stylistic pattern typical of the genre scenes that took place in northern Europe. Some of the characters such as the dancers and children, are pictorial resources that popularized David Teniers the young who managed to revitalize the genre of the representation of these popular festivals, characterized by the festive abandonment that is manifested in the traditions of the local peasants, also known as Kermesse whose greatest representative was Pierte Bruegel the Elder. Lambert de Hondt the Elder was a Flemish painter and draughtsman known mainly for his equestrian and battle scenes, as well as for his genre and landscape paintings. Only a few facts about de Hondt's life are preserved. It is known that he worked in Mechelen. He is sometimes confused with another artist who signed his paintings with L. de Hondt. This other artist, who also specialized in battle scenes and made designs for tapestries around 1700, is called Lambert de Hondt the Younger. It is not known if the two artists were related. De Hondt must have enjoyed high-level patronage, as one of his paintings (is marked with a white fleur-de-lis, and originally had a coat of arms on the reverse. This indicates that the painting belonged to the collection of Elisabeth Farnese.He was probably the author of compositions depicting military camps, cavalry and military convoys and battles signed L.D. HONDT. These paintings are reminiscent of the manner of painting of David Teniers the Younger. In his military scenes he usually uses a sketchy technique. His paintings mostly depict horses and cavalry. He also painted village scenes, hunting scenes and landscapes.

ISIDORO TAPIA (Valencia, ca. 1712 - ca. 1771/77). ‘Virgin and Child. Oil on canvas. Size: 84 x 62 x 2 cm. The format of this piece indicates that it was probably originally a processional banner. This is largely due to the composition, which is based on a compartmentalised scheme, with lower cartouches depicting various saints and an upper area containing the representation of the Virgin and Child, which is crowned by various angels. The piece is notable for its great scenography, typical of Baroque aesthetic schemes. This theatricality is defined firstly by the division between an earthly space, dedicated to the saints, and an area reserved exclusively for the divine plane, where the monumental figure of the Virgin dominates the space. The figure, which has been conceived in a pyramidal form, seated on a cloud with cherubic heads and the crescent of the fourth crescent, common in his iconography as the Immaculate Conception, stands as the central axis of the scene, exercising a strict centrality that is only interrupted in the upper area by the representation of the Eucharist and the dove of the Holy Spirit. A Spanish Rococo painter, the Valencian Isidoro de Tapia trained with Evaristo Muñoz, according to Ceán Bermúdez. In Valencia he executed several works commissioned by the public, and in 1743 he moved to Madrid. He joined the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he was appointed a meritorious academician in 1755. It is thought that he also spent some time working in Portugal. He taught drawing at the Academy until his death, and also worked for the Royal Stables of the Royal Palace. Although few signed works by his hand are known, Ismael Gutiérrez Pastor compiled a small catalogue of twenty-eight works that provide an insight into the personality of this painter, and also reconstructed his life from known and unpublished documents. Works by Isidoro de Tapia are currently held in the San Fernando Academy and other collections.

Hu Zhengyan - The Shi Zhu Zhai Notebook - Shi zhu zhai jian pu - The Book of the Ten Bamboo Study Room. Four volumes with woodcut, ink and color on paper, illustrated with 283 color woodcuts; text in Chinese. Beijing, published by Rong bao zhai xin ji 1952, first edition. Double-sided leaves bound in Chinese style in original silk-bound case with bone clamps. 31.5 x 21 cm. - Originally compiled by the seal carver Hu Zhengyan (1584-1674) from the Ming dynasty, the work was first printed on poetry paper around 1644. It contains characters from the ancient classics and is completed by blind embossing and printed in multiple colors. The techniques developed promoted the art of printing at this time. Only a few copies of the original survived. One was later discovered by the historian Zheng Zhenduo and the writer Lu Xun and became the master copy of the Republic, which was reprinted by Zheng Zhenduo in the 1930s. However, this edition was incomplete due to the poor condition of the original text. The 1952 print by the Rong Bao Zhai studio in Beijing is a faithful reproduction of the 17th century edition made from recut blocks and even with the blind-stamping technique of the gauffrage (gonghua "embossed pattern" or "arched pattern").
