Original oil painting by Alvaro Guillot, titled Le Jour Se Leve (The Day Rises), dated 1970. This striking surrealist composition features a bold depiction of a rooster in an abstracted rural landscape, employing a dynamic mix of earthy tones and vibrant accents. Guillot's expressive style brings depth and movement to the scene, making this piece a captivating addition to any collection. Guillot was part of the Parisian art movement in the mid-20th century, mingling with major figures of the Surrealist and post-war European art circles. He spent considerable time in France, where he refined his style, drawing influence from both the classical and avant-garde traditions. Over time, his work evolved to reflect a deep preoccupation with symbolism, the subconscious, and dreamlike imagery. In later years, Guillot settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where his work took on a new dimension influenced by the stark beauty of the Southwestern landscape. His palette became more arid and earthy, and his subjects began to reflect the quiet mysticism of the desert. Signed in the upper right corner. Title, artist's name, and date inscribed on the verso.

The map shows the discoveries of the explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, which he made around Australia in the years 1642-1644. New Zealand is merely indicated by a coastline, and California is still depicted as an island. The Dutch cartographer Frederick de Wit became one of the most important publishers in Amsterdam after Blaeu's closure in 1679. - Paper and age-related somewhat browned, slightly fingerstained, the colouring on the verso somewhat seeping through, occasional pale brown stains in the margins. Overall well preserved.

Jh. erschienen. - Die Szene zeigt das Gutenberg Denkmal von Bertel Thorvaldsen in Mainz bei seiner Einweihung im Jahre 1837, welche von drei Tage anhaltenden Feierlichkeiten begleitet wurden. - Technikbedingt etw. gewellt sowie papierbedingt zart angebräunt, teils etw. fleckig u. punktuell mit kl. Farbabplatzungen. Insgesamt noch gut. Seltene Lithographie von zeitgeschichtlich hoher Bedeutung. Hand-coloured and partly white heightened lithograph. In the sheet margin with mounted handwritten label, with publisher's and year's inscriptions. Mounted to underlying mat and decoratively framed under glass and in mahogany wood frame. - Very rare, currently not verifiable for us in international trade, no copy listed at Worldcat and in the KVK. - Probably intended for private use, self-published by the now largely unknown 19th century artist. - The scene shows the Gutenberg monument by Bertel Thorvaldsen in Mainz at its inauguration in 1837, which was accompanied by three days of festivities. - Some waviness due to the technique as well as slightly browned due to the paper, partly somewhat stained and with small colour flaking in few spots. Overall still good. Rare lithograph of great historical significance.
