Artist Biography & Background
Mady Tiso is a recognized mid-century regional painter whose works are primarily preserved through prominent mid-20th-century estate collections across Ontario and Quebec. Active from the 1950s through the 1970s, Tiso specialized in original tempera compositions. Her portfolio is highly distinguished by architectural landscapes, specifically heavily textured desert towns, canyon villages, and cliffside settlements. Because she operated independently through localized craft and gallery networks during Canada&#39;s mid-century art boom, her surviving physical artworks remain the primary anchor of her artistic legacy

Artwork Description & Technique
This original piece is an exceptional showcase of Tiso&#39;s signature aesthetic and technical style. Using a precise tempera medium, she employs repetitive, short vertical strokes to create a rich, fabric-like organic texture across the massive canyon cliff face.
The composition features:
Geometric structures: Vibrant, blocky, multi-colored terraced houses clustered in the center.
High vertical perspective: An imposing red rock canyon wall that dominates the background.
Stylized natural motifs: Slender, linear palm trees that flank the village to anchor the desert oasis theme.

Condition & Presentation
The artwork is preserved in its authentic, original mid-century wood frame and custom matting. The colors remain vibrant, and the delicate tempera surface is fully intact under protective glass. This piece serves as a premier example of mid-century modern architectural landscape decor, making it a perfect acquisition for collectors of retro Canadiana fine art.

About the Artist: Goryūtei Keishō (五流亭景松)
Active during the late 19th-century Meiji period, Goryūtei Keishō was a highly skilled commercial print designer and illustrator. He specialized in creating complex instructional painting templates for woodblock-printed art manuals (ehon and gafu). These widespread manuals allowed art students and hobbyists across Japan to study masterful line control, traditional brushwork variance, and classical nature compositions.
Because his designs were bound into compilation volumes, single double-page diptychs like this one are highly prized by modern collectors who carefully extract, preserve, and frame them as standalone decorative works of art
Condition & Presentation
Framing: High-quality custom presentation. Housed behind a clean, professional off-white matboard and framed in an elegant, exhibition-ready dark cherry wood frame. 
Condition: Excellent antique preservation. The vertical center crease is the original book spine fold line—completely standard for authentic 19th-century book plates. The hand-made washi paper is structurally stable with no active moisture staining foxing, harsh fading, or wormholes.

Framed Coptic Orthodox St. Mark Icon Painting on Authentic Egyptian Papyrus
This beautiful Coptic Orthodox St. Mark icon is hand-painted on authentic Egyptian papyrus and comes encased in an elegant, decorative gold frame. 
Subject: Saint Mark the Evangelist (Apostle and Founder of the Coptic Church)
Medium: Hand-Painted Gouache/Tempera on Authentic Egyptian Papyrus Reed Paper
Origin: Port Said, Egypt (Port Said Art Workshop / مدرسة بورسعيد)
Year of Creation: 2011 (Dated &#34;٢٠١١ م&#34; via Arabic inscription)
Framing: Custom decorative gilt-gold frame featuring ornate openwork scroll patterning
Dimensions: 10&#34; x 14&#34; (Approx. 25 x 35 cm)

Up for auction is a beautifully vibrant, hand-painted Coptic Orthodox icon executed in the traditional folk style on highly textured, authentic Egyptian papyrus. This piece is rich with theological symbolism and honors Saint Mark, one of the original Seventy Apostles and the historic writer of the second Gospel.
Every element of this composition carries profound historical and spiritual meaning:
The Central Figure: Saint Mark is depicted looking directly at the viewer with wide, luminous eyes typical of Coptic sacred art. He wears traditional white under-vestments and a deep crimson-red mantle, which symbolizes his brutal martyrdom in Alexandria, where he was dragged through the streets by a pagan mob until his death. In his hands, he carries a blessing cross.
The Lion: Resting at his feet is a lion, the universal symbol paired with Saint Mark. In Coptic tradition, this refers to a famous miracle where his prayers struck dead a menacing lion and lioness, leading his family to convert to Christianity. It also echoes the grand opening of his Gospel: &#34;a voice crying out in the wilderness,&#34; akin to a lion&#39;s roar.
The Pharos (Lighthouse of Alexandria): Capped with a cross in the background, this ancient wonder symbolizes how Saint Mark’s preaching brought the divine light of Christ to illuminate the nation of Egypt, driving away spiritual darkness.The Scale-Patterned Water: The highly structured waves beneath the lighthouse represent the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile Delta, referencing his historic arrival by ship onto the shores of northern Africa to found the Church of Alexandria.
Inscription & Provenance:
The lower-left corner bears an authentic, hand-rendered Arabic inscription reading &#34;Madrasat Port Said - 2011 M&#34; (مدرسة بورسعيد ٢٠١١ م). This documents its clear provenance as a 2011 creation from a respected Coptic iconography workshop and community school located in the major Egyptian port city of Port Said.
Condition Report:The artwork is in excellent, display-ready condition. The colors remain bold, opaque, and highly saturated. The natural papyrus fibers are entirely intact with no visible tears, rippling, or moisture damage. The structural ornate gold gallery frame remains secure and shows only minimal shelf wear consistent with handling.

The illustrations are rendered in the nostalgic Dōga style—a genre of Japanese folk art romanticizing rural childhood innocence. Characterized by charming, round-faced children in regional costume, the scenes brilliantly contrast classic Japanese natural elements: winter fire and spring water. Each piece is elegantly paired with historically significant Edo-period haiku poetry rendered in striking, fluid calligraphy.

Subject Detail: The Stylized Folk Art Centaur
A fascinating highlight of Lot 42 is its surreal, hybrid subject matter. While at first glance the wide-eyed character resembles a traditional portrait, a closer look reveals a whimsical four-legged mythological centaur caught in a dynamic, trotting stance.
The painter beautifully adapts European mythology into a flat, mid-century Mexican modernist aesthetic. The horizontal slope of the horse&#39;s back, a stylized sweeping tail, and four geometric, staggered legs give the character an enchanting sense of movement. This hybrid figure perfectly mirrors the playful, folklore-driven imagery popularized in the 1960s and 1970s, making it an excellent conversation piece for any collector
Collector&#39;s Note
While original signed works by José María de Servín routinely fetch premium prices on major fine art platforms like Artsy and Invaluable, high-quality 1970s amateur tribute pieces like this are highly sought after by interior designers and mid-century modern enthusiasts. It is the ultimate accent piece for eclectic gallery walls, bohemian living spaces, or retro teak sideboards
