There are few doubts about this attribution, both for the material of the pigments used, and for the presence of the clear and unmistakable gestures of the master, a pillar of Flemish Baroque painting, grandiose and triumphal in the overall composition. The painting is derived, although with the scene taken in symmetry, from an invention that Pietro Paolo Rubens made between 1617 and 1619 (oil on panel 67 x 102 cm, https://rkd.nl/en/explore/images / 57989), commissioned for the church of Saint-Jean de Malines, in Belgium. It was stolen in 1794 by the French where it still was and brought to the Louvre Museum until 1803, when it was sold to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille. Although it is a panel of important dimensions (the same as the prototype), the expressive force with which the faces and bodies of the characters were reproduced, 1 / 4 anticSwiss 25/09/2021 02:03:07 http://www.anticswiss.com rendered with technical mastery, which induce the lucky observer to scrutinize every nuance of the characters, deserve to be mentioned. details. The theatricality of the scene, like the Rubensian prototype, is supported by the vivid, intense and brilliant colors, as well as by the strength of the light strokes that pierce the darkness of the background. From a technical point of view we will be induced to consider our work as an interesting work from the workshop, presumably performed by the workers to satisfy the numerous requests for this subject. Following his return from Italy, in 1608, and the great fame he achieved, Pieter Paul Rubens founded in Antwerp one of the most flourishing workshops in Europe, organized with criteria of small industry, where he used a large number of collaborators and students. , each expert in individual specializations. With regard to our painting, several preparatory drawings were found (a part is now kept at the Albertina in Vienna), evidence that in Rubens's workshop there were already numerous variations after the prototype was made. Moreover, it was typical to keep prototypes of the works destined for important clients, in order to be able to make quick replicas in case of need. A similar composition is registered in the Barbara Piasecka Johnson collection of Princeton (New Jersey) and coming from an auction at Christie's London, 13 July 2001 lot 20 (https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-attributed-to- willem-van- herp-1614-1677-the-2097186 /? from = salesumm ...), hesitated with attribution to the painter Willen Van Herp, active in Antwerp after having conducted a pupil with the famous master, whose style will later influence its production. In addition to Van Herp, there are many Flemish artists who could refer to our painting, even if it is difficult to trace it and one in particular; among these Jacob Jordaens, Gerard and Daniel Seghers, Frans Snyders, Jan Boeckhorst, Hendrick van Balen, Erasmus Quellinus the Younger, Gaspar de Crayer and Artus Wolffor, faithful collaborators who absorbed the same richness of the aesthetic vocabulary conceived by Rubens. The work is in excellent condition. With Flemish frame in black lacquered wood. For more information on the work, you are welcome to contact us, without obligation.

Gorry, Dublin, until Anonymous sale, Christie’s, London, 6 October, 1950, lot 123 Anonymous sale, Christie’s, London, 9 July 2014, lot 159 (The Property of a Lady) Private collection, England, until 2021 Born in Antwerp in 1603, Simon de Vos studied with the portraitist Cornelis de Vos (1603- 1676) before enrolling as a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1620. Subsequently, he is thought to have rounded off his education with a trip to Italy. Although undocumented, a sojourn in Italy during the 1620s is the only plausible explanation for the stylistic similarities that exist between some of his early genre scenes and those of the German-born artist Johann Liss (c. 1595-1631), who was in Rome and Venice at that time. In any event, de Vos was back in his hometown by 1627, the year in which he married Catharina, sister of the still-life painter Adriaen van Utrecht (1599-1652). He remained in Antwerp for the rest of his life. In his early career, Simon de Vos painted mostly cabinet-sized genre scenes. He specialised in merry company subjects, whose style and composition recall similar works by such Dutch contemporaries as Antonie Palamedesz. (1601-1673), Dirck Hals (1591-1656) and Pieter Codde (1599-1678). After about 1640, he turned increasingly to biblical subjects that show the influence of Frans Francken the Younger (1581-1642), Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641).

Here we see people of all ages, nude and clothed, performing varied activities in numerous poses, all in a setting that includes different bodies of water, types of architecture, land forms, and animals. • Wealthy Roman patrons liked landscapes like this one, combining natural and human-made elements in an orderly structure. Rather than emphasizing the vast distance between foreground and horizon with a sweeping view, Domenichino placed boundaries between the foreground (the shoreline), middle ground (architecture), and distance. Viewers can then experience the scene’s depth in a more measured way. • For many years, scholars thought this was a copy of a painting by Domenichino, but recently it has been argued that it is an original. The argument is based on careful comparison of many of the picture’s stylistic characteristics, and on the presence of so many figures in complex poses. At this point in Domenichino’s career he wanted more commissions for narrative scenes and knew he needed to demonstrate his skill in depicting human action.

Rubens: Jan Boeckhorst (Munster 1605-Antwerp 1668). It represents the adoration of the three wise men who bring the three gifts (gold, incense and myrrh) to the child Jesus. In the iconographic tradition Gaspard, with Asian features, offers incense, Melchior, represented as a white bearded old man, gold, and Balthazar, with black skin, myrrh. This painting is in a beautiful original state. The colors remained very fresh. Oil on canvas of 117cm by 92 cm Frame of 136 cm by 112 cm Jan Boeckhorst (Munster 1605-Antwerp 1668). He was a collaborator of Pierre Paul Rubens. Boeckhorst rarely took the trouble to sign or date his works, so many of them were attributed to Rubens or Antoine Van Dyck, of which he was a friend. Meanwhile, the history of art has recognized the authorship of many works, by comparison of styles or based on archival pieces. With his representations of saints, he put himself at the service of the Counter-Reformation. Although he was born in Germany, one counts Boeckhorst among the painters of the Flemish School. Painting in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. From the second half of the sixteenth century, painting took a new growth especially because of the expansion of the art market to the bourgeois classes.

  • A Painter of ‘Devotions, Poetries and Landscapes’ and a Collaborator with Joris Van Son El Otro Thys
    Philostrato. Revista de Historia y Arte, nº 2 Año 2017, pp. 21-43 DOI: 10.25293/philostrato.2017.07 The Other Thys. An examination of the work of Gysbrecht Thys: a painter of ‘devotions, poetries and landscapes’ and a collaborator with Joris van Son El otro Thys. Análisis de la obra de Gysbrecht Thys: pintor de “devociones, poesías y paisajes” y colaborador de Joris van Son Jahel Sanzsalazar1 Resumen: El pintor flamenco Gysbrecht Thys (también escrito Thijs, Thyssen o Tijssens) (1617- h. 1684) ha sido durante siglos confundido con varios de sus homónimos. Aunque su identidad fue desentramada en 1996 en dos artículos fundamentales, ninguna obra suya había salido a la luz hasta hoy. Las pinturas estudiadas en el presente artículo, primeras aportaciones a la producción de Gysbrecht Thys, ayudan a definir la personalidad artística de un pintor olvidado. Considerando las composiciones de sus pinturas, sus fuentes de inspiración formales y literarias, y las influencias que forjan su estilo, el pintor se revela versátil, con un cierto grado de cultura clásica adquirido en Italia y probablemente en contacto con círculos religiosos eruditos en Amberes. Su participación en una Guirnalda de flores y frutas de Joris van Son permite un excurso en la producción de éste y su probable colaboración con Jan van Balen entre otros; en busca de un mejor conocimiento de la producción de algunos pintores poco estudiados de la escuela de Amberes del siglo XVII. Palabras clave: Pintura flamenca; guirnaldas de flores en el art;, Thijs; Thyssen; Tijssens; Jan van Balen; Amberes siglo XVII; Tiziano Bacanal; Sint-Bartholomeuskerk Merksem; Investigación Abstract: The Flemish painter Gysbrecht Thys (also spelled Thijs, Thyssen or Tijssens) (1617- ca.
