The recent Classic Art auctions in London have confirmed once again the difficulties for this market segment.

Perhaps the only exception of otherwise overall unimpressive catalogues was “The Nymph of the Spring” by Lucas Cranach The Elder.
The largest of all versions bearing this subject by the German early Renaissance master and a true, remarkable rediscovery, it sold for almost £10m.

Flora Yukhnovich's was once again one of the most

Flora Yukhnovich's was once again one of the most coveted names emerging from the otherwise unimpressive London marquee auctions, which took place at the end of June. Is the global recession taking its toll on the art market too?

Refreshing and always looking so stunningly contemporary…

It was a proper delight to visit the exquisite exhibition @royalacademyarts focussing on a series of real masterpieces by artist Kanawabe Kyōsai (1831 - 1889), one of Japan’s most important master paintings, coming from @israelgoldmanjapaneseprints.

Often overlooked in the past, he combined a rigorous academic training with a peculiar, witty and versatile talent - the combination of the two creating a revolutionary style touching a wider range of images and subjects, from the terrifying to the sarcastic (unmissable are his frog and fart battle scenes!).

Severed heads and spilling blood all over the place - in other words when Old Masters become (stylishly, as always) splatter!

Make your way to @barberinicorsini in order to visit the beautiful exhibition ‘Caravaggio and Artemisia: the challenge of Judith’, curated by the super talented @terzaghina, before it closes on March 27th!
