The Coronation and Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The Holy Simon Stock (1237-1265) receives the Brown Scapular from the Virgin Mary and Christ as a child. A canvas painted on both sides. One tear. Follower of Rubens. The pose of the Virgin Mary is the same as in Rubens' altarpiece for the Cathedral of our lady in Antwerp (canvas, 490 x 325 cm, RKDimages database 58520). Yet the use of colour resembles more to the oil sketch which Rubens made in preparation of the altarpiece (panel, 87.8 x 59.1 cm, The Hague, The Mauritshouse, inv. 926). Looking at the painting here in auction, we see that the Virgin is depicted in an opposite direction. Therefore it is likely the anonymous artist used a print after Rubens' work as an example for this painting. Rubens' Assumptions of the Virgin were translated in copper by Adriaen Lommelin (1618-1673) and Coenraet Waumans (1619-1661). The engraving of Coenraet Waumans, in which he leaves out a large part of Rubens' composition and puts the figure of the Virgin more central, shows the most resemblances with the painting here in auction (ill. 1). On the verso, another religious scene is painted by the same hand: Saint Simon Stock receives the scapular of the Virgin Mary with Christ Child. Simon Stock became a Carmelite in 1237 and later Order General. In this function, he founded several other monasteries in Cambridge, Oxford, Paris and Bologna. In 1251, he experiences an apparition of Mary of Mount Carmel, who gives him a scapular for the salvation of all those who wear it. As in this painting, the scene is usually depicted with a kneeling Simon receiving the scapular from Mary or the Christ Child. He is dressed in the typical orderly attire of the Carmelites with a brown scapular, white cloak and a white hood. It is not clear whether this composition also goes back to an earlier prototype by Rubens. Most of the paintings in Belgian churches with the depiction of Simon Stock, go back to the 18th century. Nevertheless, several 17th-century artists in the circle of Rubens also painted the saint. For example Erasmus Quellinus II (1607-1678) (1686, canvas, 470 x 335 cm, Bruges, Saint Salvator Cathedral, balat.kikirpa.be/object/89923), Gaspar de Crayer (1584-1669) (canvas, 227 x 180 cm, Ghent, MSK, inv. S 22) and Gerard Seghers (1591-1651) (canvas, 197 x 138 cm, Antwerp, KMSKA, inv. 512). Description FR L'Ascension et le Couronnement de la Vierge. La Vierge remettant le scapulaire à saint Simon Stock (1237-1265). Toile double-face. Perforation. Suiveur de Rubens. Beschrijving NL De tenhemelopneming en kroning van Maria. De Heilige Simon Stock (1237-1265) ontvangt de scapulier van de Maagd Maria en het Christuskind. Dubbelzijdig beschilderd doek. Perforatie. Navolging Rubens. De houding van Maria komt overeen met de houding van de Maagd in Rubens' hoofdaltaar voor de Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe kathedraal in Antwerpen (doek, 490 x 325 cm, RKDimages database 58520). Het kleurgebruik leunt echter dichter aan bij de olieverfschets die Rubens hiervoor maakt, nu in de collectie van het Mauritshuis in Den Haag (paneel, 87.8 x 59.1 cm, inv. 926). Op onderhavig doek is Maria in spiegelbeeld afgebeeld. Mogelijk baseerde de kopiist zich op een prent naar Rubens' compositie. Zowel Adriaen Lommelin (1618–1673) als Coenraet Waumans (1619–1661) brachten gravures uit naar de schilderijen van Rubens. De prent van Coenraet Waumans, waarin hij een deel van de compositie weg laat en alleen Maria centraal stelt, leunt het dichtst aan bij het dubbelzijdige doek hier in veiling (ill. 1). Op de verso is door dezelfde hand een ander religieus tafereel geschilderd. De Heilige Simon Stock (feestdag 16 mei) ontvangt de scapulier van de Heilige Maagd Maria met Christuskind. Hij wordt in 1237 karmeliet en later ordegeneraal. In die functie sticht hij verschillende ordehuizen o.a. in Cambridge, Oxford, Parijs en Bologna. In 1251 ervaart hij een verschijning van Maria van de Berg Karmel, die hem een scapulier geeft ter zielenheil van al wie hem draagt. Zoals in onderhavig schilderij, wordt de scène meestal weergegeven met een geknielde Simon die de scapulier ontvangt van Maria of het Christuskind. Hij is gekleed in de typische ordekledij van de karmelieten met bruine pij, bruin scapulier, witte mantel en witte kap. Het is niet duidelijk of deze compositie ook teruggaat op een eerder prototype van Rubens. Veel van de schilderijen in de Belgische kerken met deze voorstelling dateren uit de 18de eeuw. Toch wordt het thema in de 17de eeuw ook behandeld door kunstenaars uit de omgeving van Rubens waaronder Erasmus Quellinus II (1607-1678) (1686, doek, 470 x 335 cm, Brugge, Sint-Salvator Kathedraal, balat.kikirpa.be/object/89923), Gaspar de Crayer (1584-1669) (doek, 227 x 180 cm, Gent, MSK, inv. S 22) en Gerard Seghers (1591-1651) (doek, 197 x 138 cm, Antwerpen, KMSKA, inv. 512).
