Le sceau original fait partie de la collection M.Colville, référence CMS VIII, 106. L.Basch, n° C3. Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
Concentrons-nous sur les différences : La voilure est plus importante, le gouvernail n’existait pas sur l’original, la coque particulière du bateau pourrait faire croire à un catamaran, ce qu’il n’était peut-être pas ? Sinon les deux poissons dans l’eau sont très squelettés, sur l’un l’arête centrale est extérieure parallèle au corps ! Dans le ciel gauche, deux oiseaux ou poissons-volants ? A droite une étoile toujours squelettée ! Ce sont des symboles minoens originaux dont la signification nous échappe !
Sur le navire, de gauche à droite, une minoenne dans une jupe caractéristique crétoise, un homme central qui lui tend le vase à bec sacré, dans l’autre main : le Monogramme de l’artiste. A côté sur le pont, une deuxième minoenne jouant du luth, et au-dessus d’elle une dernière femme allongée dans une curieuse position et ce, dans une robe longue à volants qui ressemble à des pantalons longs et bouffants. Ami de l’humain, le chien n’est pas oublié…
Vase à bec sacré : Ce vase est présent sur des centaines de sceaux minoens, on peut imaginer que leur rôle ait été cultuel.

In truth, I am writing this to you without lying, the whole story of Philhelm begins in Alsace at the castle of Lichtenberg, on April 23, 1616, when Balthasar Helmlinger, aged 7, lost the Monogram of his eponymous descendant. This banal and nevertheless extremely serious incident in the distant past, will trigger the artistic vocation of one of his descendants, 10 generations later!
This painter of today, born in Strasbourg in 1943, has seen his work exhibited and awarded twice in his life (1999 and 2001), and this, only at the “International Biennale of Contemporary Art of Florence” which gave him awarded the City of Florence Prize in 1999.
So that the vulgum pecus is totally disoriented from its experience, that it lets history enter into it without haste, enriched every day by our common ancestral past: whether it is Etruscan, Minoan or Babylonian, otherwise it will never penetrate into inside the paintings, to try to discover the secret causes of things.
