Pioneered by the Carracci family, this school merged together the solidity of High Renaissance painting and the rich colours of the Venetian school. This painting shows a grouping of four figures, the Virgin Mary with the Christ child, the infant John the Baptist on their right and Joseph on the left. The figures are set against a landscape with forest in the background. Mary, wearing a blue and red gown, holds the child, while the infant Joseph, wrapped in animal skin, gazes at her holding a wooden cross. It was not uncommon to see John as a small boy depicted in adoration of the Christ child during the Holy Family’s journey back from Egypt. 501 • BOLOGNESE SCHOOL, 17TH CENTURY The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist Oil on canvas 71 x 55 cm Provenance: Private Collection, Nice 4,000 - 5,000 € 4 5 502 • ITALIAN SCHOOL STYLE OF 17TH CENTURY, 19TH CENTURY Still Life with fl owers, fruits, mushrooms, watermelon and grapes Oil on canvas 130 x 81.5 cm Provenance: Private Collection, Nice 3,500 - 4,500 € 503 • 504 • UNKNOWN ARTIST, 18TH CENTURY ITALIAN SCHOOL, EARLY 19TH CENTURY Lamentation of Christ The Holy Family Oil on panel Oil on panel 23,4 x 17,8 cm 36,5 x 30 cm 350 - 500 € 450 - 500 € 8 9 505 • EUROPEAN SCHOOL, XIX CENTURY Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge and rich fi gural staffage Indistinctly signed (lower left) Oil on canvas 45,7 x 81,5 cm 8,000 - 10,000 € 506 • After being noticed by the art collector Laurent Laperlier ALBERT MARIE LEBOURG (1849-1928) in Rouen, the city where he did his Fine Art studies, A windmill near Rotterdam Lebourg accepted a teaching post in Algiers.
