Carel Fabritius (Middenbeemster 1622 – 1654 Delft)
Carel Fabritius (Middenbeemster 1622 – 1654 Delft) How To Cite Bakker, Piet. "Carel Fabritius." In The Leiden Collection Catalogue. Edited by Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. New York, 2017. https://www.theleidencollection.com/archive/. This page is available on the site's Archive. PDF of every version of this page is available on the Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. Archival copies will never be deleted. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. In studying the life and work of Carel Fabritius, one soon notices that scholarly interest in his artistry focuses on two different “periods”: a real one and an imagined one. Naturally, the most attention is given to Carel’s actual career, which began around 1641 and ended in 1654. Then there is the great speculation regarding the period that never existed, but which could have, had his life not been cut short by the devastating explosion of the powder magazine in Delft in 1654. Only thirteen paintings have been firmly attributed to him, and his limited artistic legacy is sorely lamented. Famous paintings likeThe Goldfinch[1] andThe Sentry[2] bespeak such originality and artistic quality that we can only regret all the works he never painted. Unfortunately, his untimely death has made it virtually impossible to determine whether his talent would have eventually been great enough to equal, if not surpass, that of his teacher, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–69). Fabritius’s parents were Pieter Carelsz and Barbertje van der Maes. He was baptized in Middenbeemster, a village just north of Amsterdam, on 27 February 1622.[3] His father worked there as a sexton, a schoolteacher and, in “the spare time outside school,” also as a painter.[4] Thus Carel, like his brothers Barent (1624–73) and Johannes, must have received his first painting lessons from his father.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 THE ENGAGEMENT OF CAREL FABRITIUS’S GOLDFINCH OF 1654 WITH THE DUTCH WINDOW, A SIGNIFICANT SITE OF NEIGHBORHOOD SOCIAL EXCHANGE Linda Stone-Ferrier This article posits that Carel Fabritius’s illusionistic painting The Goldfinch, 1654, cleverly traded on the experience of a passerby standing on an actual neighborhood street before a household window. In daily discourse, the window func- tioned as a significant site of neighborhood social exchange and social control, which official neighborhood regulations mandated. I suggest that Fabritius’s panel engaged the window’s prominent role in two possible ways. First, the trompe l’oeil painting may have been affixed to the inner jamb of an actual street-side window, where goldfinches frequently perched in both paintings and in contemporary households.

Here, in this rare and wonderful example, we see this gifted painter and storyteller at his very best. He focuses the viewer’s attention on Hagar’s moment of suffering, while alluding to other moments in the broader narrative.

The Image of the Town in the Paintings of the 17 Century Delft School of Painting
Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 19 (4): 501-504, 2014 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2014 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.mejsr.2014.19.4.21003 The Image of the Town in the Paintings of the 17th Century Delft School of Painting: The Issue of Genre Synthesis Anna Alekseevna Dmitrieva Saint-Petersburg State University, Saint-Petersburg, Russia Abstract: The article examines the works of the Dutch artists of the 17th century Delft School of painting, which exemplify à synthesis of townscape painting and the daily-life genre. The topicality of this subject is due to the fact that it has not been developed sufficiently enough in historiography. The article’s scientific novelty lies in that it provides a detailed analysis of paintings based on the formal-stylistic and retrospective methods. Especial attention is given to the works of Carel Fabritius and Pieter de Hooch. The author comes to the conclusion that the paintings of the Delft artists are on the border of two genres - topographical townscape painting and the daily-life genre. In this context, they serve as the basis for the emergence of 18th century veduta painting. Key words: Delft 17th century Dutch painting, townscape Daily-life genre Perspective Genre synthesis INTRODUCTION The Delft painters depicted scenes from the everyday life of the Dutch bourgeoisie, often placing them within The 17th century is rightfully considered the town settings. Themes created by them on the border of Golden epoch of Dutch painting. The leading genres two genres demonstrate not just objects of architecture of this period were landscape painting and the daily- but a complex “image of the town”, which consists of life genre.

Vermeer, Johannes Also Known As Vermeer, Jan Vermeer Van Delft Dutch, 1632 - 1675
National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Vermeer, Johannes Also known as Vermeer, Jan Vermeer van Delft Dutch, 1632 - 1675 Johannes Vermeer, The Procuress (detail), 1656, oil on canvas, Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden BIOGRAPHY The life and art of Johannes Vermeer are closely associated with the city of Delft. He was born in Delft in 1632 and lived there until his death in 1675. His father, Reynier Vermeer, was a silk weaver who produced caffa, a fine satin fabric, but in 1631 he also registered in the Saint Luke’s Guild in Delft as a master art dealer. By 1641 he was sufficiently prosperous to purchase a large house, the “Mechelen,” which contained an inn on the market square in Delft and from which he probably also sold paintings. When Reynier died in 1652 Johannes apparently inherited his business. By that time he must have already decided on a career as a painter. It is assumed that he trained in Delft, perhaps with Leonard Bramer (Dutch, 1596 - 1674), who seems to have had close associations with Vermeer’s family, or with Carel Fabritius (Dutch, c. 1622 - 1654). No documents, however, exist about his artistic training or apprenticeship, and he may have studied elsewhere, perhaps in Utrecht or Amsterdam. Vermeer, who was baptized on October 31, 1632, in the Reformed Church in Delft, was raised a Protestant. In April 1653, however, he married into a Catholic family and seems to have converted to Catholicism shortly before that date to placate his future mother-in-law, Maria Thins, who lived in the so-called Papenhoek (Papists’ Corner) of Delft, adjacent to the Jesuit church on the Oude Langendijck, one of two hidden churches where Catholics could worship.

Mais je me suis dit, qu'il arrive un moment où il convient de faire une fin. J'ai pensé qu'il s'agissait bien plus de voir juste que de tout voir, ce qui du reste n'est pas possible; que l'étude de plusieurs centaines de tableaux et de dessins, des 360 eaux-fortes du Carel Vosmaer, Rembrandt Harmens van Rijn.
