Expert: René Millet. We thank Professors Jan de Maere and Joost van der Auwera for confirming the award from photographs. Our painting describes an episode in the Old Testament in which Dalila betrays Sanson. She shaved her seven braids. In doing so, she deprived him of his Herculean strength and so gave it to the Philistines to burn his eyes. Symbol of the temptress woman Dalila is represented naked and seems a priori very satisfied with her triumph. Until now, there were two well-known canvases of this scene in this configuration: that of Rubens and that of van Dick. Our painting is the third. Everything is power in this work. The visual impact is striking as to the rendering of the expressions it is amazing. The movements, the opposition between forces desired or undergone, and the sweet pleasure of a satisfied Delilah, almost astonished at his success, all in a calculated sobriety which reinforces the effect still more. Simon De Vos (antwerp 1603 - 1676). A sensitive artist between a late Mannerism and Rubens' sensual Baroque, Simon de Vos illustrated himself in an original way, nourished by these two important pictorial currents. At first he was the portrait painter Cornelis de Vos in Antwerp (with whom he was not related at all), but he gradually detached himself from the genre to engage in history painting. The Hermitage thus preserves four of its Old Testament brass instruments, similar to our canvas in this golden Rubenian palette, but also in smaller formats than our spectacular composition. Rentoilage status report dating back fifty years, having slightly flattened the pictorial layer. Very nice general state. Small restorations visible on the whole picture and in the details of faces of some characters of the bottom. 1 / 3 anticSwiss 01/10/2021 23:15:34 http://www.anticswiss.com https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/simon-de-vos-1603-1676--the-samson-arrest--7822 2 / 3 anticSwiss 01/10/2021 23:15:34 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

CS0371 SIMON DE VOS (1603 – Antwerp – 1676) The Lamentation Signed and dated, lower left: S. D Vos. in et F 1644 Oil on panel, 14½ x 17⅝ ins. (36.8 x 44.8 cm) PROVENANCE With James A. Gorry, Dublin, until Anonymous sale, Christie’s, London, 6 October, 1950, lot 123 Anonymous sale, Christie’s, London, 9 July 2014, lot 159 (The Property of a Lady) Private collection, England, until 2021 Born in Antwerp in 1603, Simon de Vos studied with the portraitist Cornelis de Vos (1603- 1676) before enrolling as a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1620. Subsequently, he is thought to have rounded off his education with a trip to Italy. Although undocumented, a sojourn in Italy during the 1620s is the only plausible explanation for the stylistic similarities that exist between some of his early genre scenes and those of the German-born artist Johann Liss (c. 1595-1631), who was in Rome and Venice at that time. In any event, de Vos was back in his hometown by 1627, the year in which he married Catharina, sister of the still-life painter Adriaen van Utrecht (1599-1652). He remained in Antwerp for the rest of his life. In his early career, Simon de Vos painted mostly cabinet-sized genre scenes. He specialised in merry company subjects, whose style and composition recall similar works by such Dutch contemporaries as Antonie Palamedesz. (1601-1673), Dirck Hals (1591-1656) and Pieter Codde (1599-1678). After about 1640, he turned increasingly to biblical subjects that show the influence of Frans Francken the Younger (1581-1642), Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641).

Gemäldegalerie der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien (Hg.): Rubens und die flämische Barockmalerei in der Gemäldegalerie der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien Ein Begleiter für den Besucher, Wien: Akademie der bildenden Künste 2000, 167 S., EUR 23,00. Rezensiert von: Katlijne van der Stighelen Catholic University of Leuven The title of the book immediately explains the idea behind the initiative. The reader is given a selective summary of the holding of 17th-century Flemish art kept at the Vienna picture gallery ('Gemäldegalerie'). The subtitle specifies that the book was published as a guide for visitors to the exhibition. In the foreword, Renate Trnek explains that this catalogue has become a "Viennese version" of the catalogue published exclusively in Japan for the Millennium Exhibition which was staged in Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto. Although the title of this touring exhibition was "Rubens and his Time", the exhibits covered "a selection of superb works of European art from their holdings". A total of 72 paintings from the Viennese collection made the trip to Japan. This exhibition also provided an opportunity for appropriate restoration of the paintings to be loaned. The management of the 'Gemäldegalerie' did not want to pass up the opportunity to offer the Viennese public the chance to see for themselves the results of the substantial restoration work. Following this, a selection was made from the collection exhibited in Japan which would feature only works by Rubens and his Flemish peers. A total of 39 paintings were selected. Since little recent literature is available about this part of the collection from the 'Gemäldegalerie', the exhibition in Vienna also provided an opportunity to publish a German catalogue for this section of the fund.

A Mediated Presence: Uncovering Nietzsche in Art History from Its Foundations to Contemporary Anglo-American Curricula
Université de Montréal A Mediated Presence: Uncovering Nietzsche in Art History from its Foundations to Contemporary Anglo-American Curricula par Natalie Vansier Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maîtrise des Arts (M.A.) en histoire de l’art Août 2015 © Natalie Vansier, 2015 Résumé La pensée de Nietzsche a joué un rôle déterminant et récurrent dans les discours et les débats qui ont formé et continuent de façonner le domaine de l’histoire de l’art, mais aucune analyse systématique de cette question n’a encore vu le jour. L’influence de Nietzsche a été médiée par divers interlocuteurs, historiens de l’art et philosophes, qui ont encadré ces discussions, en utilisant les écrits du philosophe comme toile de fond de leurs propres idées. Ce mémoire souhaite démontrer que l’impact de Nietzsche dans le champ de l’histoire de l’art existe mais qu’il fut toujours immergé ou éclipsé, particulièrement dans le contexte anglo-américain, l’emphase étant placée sur les médiateurs de ses idées en n’avouant que très peu d’engagement direct avec son œuvre. En conséquence, son importance généalogique pour certains fondateurs de la discipline reste méconnue; sa présence réellement féconde se traduit plutôt comme une absence ou une présence masquée. En vue de démontrer ce propos, nous regardons donc le contexte nietzschéen qui travaille les écrits de certains historiens de l’art, comme Jacob Burckhardt et Aby Warburg, ou des philosophes et d’écrivains ayant marqué la discipline de l’histoire de l’art (plus particulièrement dans le cadre de l’influence de la « French Theory » sur l’histoire de l’art anglo-américaine depuis la fin des années 1970) : Martin Heidegger, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze et Georges Bataille.

Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth Mcfadden a Dissertatio
Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland By Elizabeth McFadden A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art and the Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair Professor Todd Olson Professor Margaretta Lovell Professor Jeroen Dewulf Fall 2019 Abstract Fur Dress, Art, and Class Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England and Holland by Elizabeth McFadden Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art Designated Emphasis in Dutch Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth Honig, Chair My dissertation examines painted representations of fur clothing in early modern England and the Netherlands. Looking at portraits of elites and urban professionals from 1509 to 1670, I argue that fur dress played a fundamentally important role in actively remaking the image of middle- class and noble subjects. While demonstrating that fur was important to establishing male authority in court culture, my project shows that, by the late sixteenth century, the iconographic status and fashionability of fur garments were changing, rendering furs less central to elite displays of magnificence and more apt to bourgeois demonstrations of virtue and gravitas. This project explores the changing meanings of fur dress as it moved over the bodies of different social groups, male and female, European and non-European. My project deploys methods from several disciplines to discuss how fur’s shifting status was related to emerging technologies in art and fashion, new concepts of luxury, and contemporary knowledge in medicine and health.

(1595-96) and David with the Head of Goliath
SANGUINE LUC TUYMANS ON BAROQUE Fondazione Prada presents the exhibition “Sanguine. Luc Tuymans on Baroque”, curated by Luc Tuymans, in its Milan venue from 18 October 2018 to 25 February 2019. Organized with M KHA (Museum of Contemporary Art of Antwerp) and KMSKA (Museum of Fine Arts of Antwerp) and the City of Antwerp, the project will be featured in Milan in a new and more extensive version, following its first presentation in the Belgian city from June to September 2018. Luc Tuymans conceived an intense visual experience presenting more than 80 works by 63 international artists, including 25 exhibited exclusively at Fondazione Prada. “Sanguine” is a personal interpretation of the Baroque based on innovative juxtapositions and unexpected associations of works by contemporary artists and Old Masters. Avoiding a rigid chronological order or a strictly historiographical approach, Tuymans evades the traditional notion of the Baroque and invites viewers to reconsider 17th century art, as well as the contemporary research, by placing artists and their role in society at the center of the exhibition narrative. In the wake of Walter Benjamin’s analysis, according to whom the Baroque marked the start of modernity, Tuymans explores the search for authenticity, the political significance of artistic representation, the emotional turmoil generated by art, the celebration of the author’s personality, and the international dimension of the art scene, recognizing the Baroque as the primary point of reference for today’s art. Not only does “Sanguine” push the traditional boundaries of the Baroque notion by extending its duration to the present day, but also it shows how over the past two centuries artists have helped redefine it, from the negative sense attributed to the word by art critics during the late 18th century, to the reassessment operated by Postmodernism and the re-establishment of a Baroque and figurative expressiveness in the art of recent years.

Paul Devos Biography
ARTIST BROCHURE Decorate Your Life™ ArtRev.com Paul DeVos Born in the Flemish town of Hulst (located in the Netherlands today) around 1591, Paul De Vos belonged to a family of painters. His older brother, Cornelis De Vos, was famous for his portraits and history subjects, while his well-known brother-in-law, Frans Snyders, influenced De Vos' personal style and decision to paint mainly hunting scenes, still-life images, and animal subjects. De Vos began training in Snyders' studio sometime during the latter half of the first decade in the seventeenth century, and became a master in Antwerps significant Guild of Saint Luke in 1620. De Vos never signed his work, so it is extremely difficult to build a chronology of his development as a painter. However, he was known to have regularly completed commissions for King Philip IV of Spain. His style was similar to Snyderss, but De Voss color palette tended to be warmer, his brushwork looser, and he painted subjects, such as fighting cats, that Snyders never approached. Though much remains mystery about De Voss personal life, it seems he may have counted the painter Peter Paul Rubens among his friends, as records show that Rubens was the godfather to one of De Voss ten children. De Vos collaborated not only with Rubens but also with Anthony van Dyck.
