Heutink Ikonen
The Ladder of Divine Ascent Russia (Vyg), circa 1800 Egg tempera with gold leaf on a wooden panel surfaced with gesso and linen 35 x 31 cm This rare iconography is based on the work 'The Ladder of Divine Ascent' by the hermit John Climacus, who lived in the Sinai Desert in the seventh century. The work was a major influence on Orthodox Christianity, comparable to 'The Following of Christ' by Thomas à Kempis in Roman Catholicism. The icon shows how monks may get closer to Christ through several stages of asceticism (steps on the ladder) and ultimately reach heaven. Angels encourage the monks and pray for succour, while to the left of the ladder demons are attempting to lure the monks into succumbing to earthly temptations. The steadfast monk who reaches the top of the ladder is welcomed with open arms by Christ in heaven. The monks who surrender to the temptations of the world fall into the devil's wide-open mouth. The icon was probably meant as a reminder and encouragement for monastics to live a virtuous life.

denijs van alsloot
Denijs van Alsloot (Mechelen 1568-1625 Brussels) Wooded Landscape opening onto a Mountain Range With the participation of the workshop of Jan Brueghel The Elder (Brussels 1568-1625 Antwerp) for the figures First decade of the 17th century Oil on panel 117 x 173 cm Provenance: Fournier Art Gallery, Rouen, 1984; Heim Gallery; De Jonckheere, 1984; private collection Literature: S. van Sprang, Denijs Van Alsloot (vers 1568 – 1625/26). Peintre paysagiste au service de la cour des archiducs Albert et Isabelle, Turnhout, Brepols, 2014, p. 104, ill. 25, repr. Denijs Van Alsloot's mastery of nature must be considered from the point of view of the overall effect it produces. The artist knew how to adapt his compositions to his subjects. While the forest can be a frightening place, in the artist's imagination, it is a space that shelters nymphs and humans. This large painting, whose deep, luminous colours have been preserved, provides a vivid example of its marvels, captured by the bluish line of the mountains nestled in a forest opening. It is one of the rare 20 or so landscapes that can currently be attributed to his body of work.
