Great wines, legendary vintages: the excellence of a private collection
November 6

Great wines, legendary vintages: the excellence of a private collection

Pétrus, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Château Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, Vega Sicilia, Pingus, Contador, and L’Ermita are the highlights of the Setdart auction on November 16. A private collection assembled over thirty years: 367 lots, approximately 1,200 bottles, 100-point vintages, large-format bottles, and original cases. There are collections whose value lies in the exceptional nature of certain bottles. Others stand out for the depth of their vintages, the consistency of their producers, or the history behind their formation. The private wine collection that Setdart is auctioning on November 16 embodies these qualities and adds a feature particularly prized by connoisseurs: a

Martí Alsina and his legacy: a family story of art and collecting

Ramon Martí Alsina, a pivotal innovator in 19th-century Catalan painting, opens the door to a legacy that transcends his own body of work.

In Pere Pruna’s paintings, the circus does not appear merely as a subject. It is, above all, a space of performance in which the human figure can break free from everyday reality to take on a more stylized, silent, and poetic dimension. Harlequins, Amazons, acrobats, and masked characters are part of a visual universe where classical tradition, the experiences of the Parisian avant-garde, and a deeply theatrical conception of the image converge. This aspect finds particularly significant expression in Circus Scene, a 1934 oil on canvas that brings together several of the characteristic elements of Pruna’s artistic language. The composition

Old Masters: A journey through 16th- and 17th-Century European painting

Between the 16th and 17th centuries, European painting broadened its scope and redefined its expressive possibilities. Court portraiture perfected the depiction of rank and authority; naturalism introduced a new immediacy to the human figure; and in the former Low Countries, still life and architectural painting established themselves as genres in their own right. These transformations were complemented by other forms of pictorial innovation, in which the fantastic, the grotesque, and the everyday coexisted with religious subjects. Behind this diversity lay distinct political, social, and economic realities, which shaped both the preferences of patrons and the production and circulation of the
