Unique and Large Crucifix with a Rare Size Hand Crafted Ceramic Corpus of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and artistic crucifix from the European Midcentury Modern era.
Over the centuries the life and teachings of Christ have inspired many an artist to create His image in just as many ways as there were artist. In more recent decades the way in which Christ on the cross has been portrayed has changed significantly from how He was portrayed in previous centuries. Just like Christ was portrayed very differently in the early 20th century as opposed to how He was seen and portrayed in, for example, the Baroque era. And this way will keep changing as evolve. Just like with the other Styles, this modernist version of Christ either speaks to you or it does not and the way in which different people will see and experience this Christ will be very different too. That ofcourse also is the job of every artist, to make you think about an artwork and make you feel something at the same time. Not only is this unique modernist sculpture different in design from most Christ sculptures you will have ever seen, it also is all hand-crafted in a very rare material. This ceramic work of religious art also comes with a mild glazing and the unique elongated design makes it even more modern and 'experimental'. Thanks to the perfect metal hook on the back, safely mounting this piece is much easier than one would expect. If you already have a place and space in mind for Him then maybe you should be this sculpture's next custodian.
Mind you, our fair price for this unique and very large, Midcentury crucifix...

Colonial Cartography: The Banda Islands - the Epicenter of the Spice Trade, 1818
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique map titled 'Kaart der Bandasche Eilanden' with a view titled 'Gezigt van het Eiland Neira en de Goening Api'. Rare and attractive map of the Banda Islands with a large view of Banda Neira and Gunung Api. One of 12 maps from ‘Atlas van Overzeesche bezittingen’ (Atlas of Oversea Possessions) by J.S. van den Bosch. J.S. van den Bosch (1780 – 1844), Major General, Knight of the 3rd Class of the Military William Order.
It is a rare and visually appealing representation of the Banda Islands, a group of ten small volcanic islands in the Banda Sea, part of present-day Indonesia.
The map is one of twelve from the “Atlas van Overzeesche bezittingen” (Atlas of Overseas Possessions) by J.S. van den Bosch, who was a Major General and a Knight of the Military William Order. Johannes van den Bosch, who lived from 1780 to 1844, had a significant military and administrative career, including serving as Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. His works and collections are reflective of the Dutch colonial interest and administration in the region.
The Banda Islands, depicted in this map, are particularly famous for being the sole source of nutmeg and mace before the mid-19th century. Nutmeg was highly valued in European cuisine, as a preservative, and as a medicine. The monopoly on these spices made the Banda Islands extremely important during the age of spice trade, which also led to intense colonial competition and conflict, notably between the Dutch and the British.
The map itself provides a detailed topographical representation of the Banda Islands, possibly with depth soundings and navigational hazards indicated, which would have been essential information for the ships of the Dutch East India Company and other seafarers. The large view of Banda Neira and Gunung Api (literally "Fire Mountain...
