Description
MICHAEL WENZEL HALBAX (1661–1711): SAINT PETER / After 1700, probably Bohemia
This High Baroque work by an Austrian painter, portraying the half-figure of St. Peter, is an example of superb chiaroscuro painting. Halbax was able to study the Italian masters directly in Venice, and their influence is more than evident. During his time in Bohemia, particularly in 1700–1709, he strongly influenced Czech Baroque painting. Oil on canvas, signed "Halbax" on bottom right. (82 x 68 cm)

We cordially invite all art lovers to our special Garden Auction held regularly each year at our gallery, Arthouse Hejtmánek in Prague–Bubeneč. The auction will be held in the garden adjacent to the gallery on Thursday, June 1, 2017 from 4 pm.

The oldest work of art will be "A Gothic Madonna" from second half of the 15th century. Timeless design will then represent "A group of Biedermeier chairs" and rarity will be extraordinary "Christian Dior Vase and Candlestick". The author of the longest distance is the Mexican glassmaker Rebeca Huerta and her Bird Tlaloc.
There will be certainly available many other surprising items that will touch and excite any collector.
