Moretti Fine Art, in collaboration with Julian Solms, presents the exhibition AndThere Was Light, featuring a dialogue between the incandescent, chromatic abstract compositions of Ingeborg zu Schleswig-Holstein and works on gold backgrounds by the masters Simone dei Crocifissi, Barnaba da Modena and Arrigo di Niccolò.
Separated by time, place and practice, but linked by a common preoccupation and an invocation of the ineffable, these paintings echo each other in surprising and remarkable ways.

Juxtaposing his works with gold-backed panels such as Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Barnaba da Modena) – whose eponymous saint is the patron saint of artists and women – the exhibition highlights the themes of creation and transcendence that are at the heart of the artist’s work. It reflects a shared ambition to transcend matter and offer a glimpse of the eternal.

Part of the proceeds from this exhibition will be donated to the worldwide AMADE association, under the patronage of H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover.
