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. Until then, the sponsors of the painters were either religious institutions or aristocratic courts. The painters were often attached to them: monks belonging to the monastic orders from which emanated the order, or artists / craftsmen hired as "valets" by the princes, and thus forming part of their domesticity, for a given time. The second part of the so-called Mannerist period corresponds to this explosion of the painting market. The professions of painter and draftsman / engraver are growing: they often have independent workshops, and there is a considerable increase in the numbers of different urban guilds, particularly in Italian cities and those in Flanders and the Netherlands. Low, who profit from the wealth related to maritime trade. If the cleverest painters, or the most fortunate, traveled to train with internationally renowned masters, especially those of Venice and Rome, most of the others never left their home region, and worked a lot from 1 / 4 anticSwiss 26/09/2021 14:26:26 http://www.anticswiss.com engravings. For it must be realized that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the free copy or adaptation of important works created for princes was a common and legitimate practice. The most famous painters were also the first to produce dozens of replicas or adaptations of their great works; they often delegated them to their workshop. One of the most popular subjects in this period, for family devotional paintings, was the nativity; and the adorations of the three wise men, perhaps because this tale was dreaming ... https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/adoration-of-the-three-wise-men-9301 2 / 4 anticSwiss 26/09/2021 14:26:26 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 3 / 4 anticSwiss 26/09/2021 14:26:26 http://www.anticswiss.com 4 / 4 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

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.

  • Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) and the Academic Tradition
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MICHAEL SWEERTS (1618-1664) AND THE ACADEMIC TRADITION Lara Rebecca Yeager-Crasselt, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History and Archaeology This dissertation examines the career of Flemish artist Michael Sweerts (1618-1664) in Brussels and Rome, and his place in the development of an academic tradition in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Sweerts demonstrated a deep interest in artistic practice, theory and pedagogy over the course of his career, which found remarkable expression in a number of paintings that represent artists learning and practicing their profession. In studios and local neighborhoods, Sweerts depicts artists drawing or painting after antique sculpture and live models, reflecting the coalescence of Northern and Southern attitudes towards the education of artists and the function and meaning of the early modern academy. By shifting the emphasis on Sweerts away from the Bamboccianti – the contemporary group of Dutch and Flemish genre painters who depicted Rome’s everyday subject matter – to a different set of artistic traditions, this dissertation is able to approach the artist from new contextual and theoretical perspectives. It firmly situates Sweerts within the artistic and intellectual contexts of his native Brussels, examining the classicistic traditions and tapestry industry that he encountered as a young, aspiring artist. It positions him and his work in relation to the Italian academic culture he experienced in Rome, as well as investigating his engagement with the work of the Flemish sculptor François Duquesnoy (1597-1643) and the French painter Nicholas Poussin (1594-1665). The breadth of Sweerts’ artistic and academic pursuits ultimately provide significant insight into the ways in which the Netherlandish artistic traditions of naturalism and working from life coalesced with the theoretical and practical aims of the academy.

  • Het Rubenshuis.Pdf
    ubens kocht het pand in november 1610, kort na zijn R huwelijk met Isabella Brant. Eind 1608, na een achtjarig verblijf in Italië, keerde hij naar Antwerpen terug en ging wonen in de Sint-Michielsstraat, de huidige KloosterstraaL In een brief van 10 april 1609 aan Johan Faber schrijft hij dat hij nog twijfelt of hij zich blijvend in de Scheldestad zou vestigen of definitief naar Rome zou terugkeren. Met aantrekkelijke aanbiedingen hadden de aartshertogen erop aangedrongen dat hij zou blijven. Maar Rubens voelde er weinig voor om opnieuw hoveling te worden. Aan Antwerpen kon hij wel wennen, maar het heimwee naar Rome was groot. Anderzijds was hij toch ook oog voor de gunstige conjunctuur onder het beleid van Albrecht en Isabella. De bekrachtiging van het Twaalfjarig Bestand (1609-1621), een rustpauze in de lange oorlog tegen het opstandige Noorden, bood hem een gunstig perspectief, het vooruitzicht op vrede en de daaraan verbonden welvaart. Ondanks zijn huiver voor het hofleven, trad Rubens op 23 september 1609 als hofschilder in dienst van de aartshertogen. Aan deze functie waren een aantal niet te versmaden rechten en voordelen verbonden zoals een jaargeld, vrijstelling van belastingen, alsook van gilde- en militieverplichtingen. Bovendien kon hij bedingen dat hij zich niet aan het Brusselse hof moest ophouden, maar zich in Antwerpen mocht vestigen en er ook voor eigen rekening kon werken. Dit laatste was ongetwijfeld een doorslaggevend argument. Hij besloot te blijven. Spoedig bleek welk een uiterst gunstig klimaat om zich te ontplooien Antwerpen hem te bieden had. Door zijn huwelijk met de dochter van Jan Brant, die stadssecretaris was, wist hij de oude bindingen van zijn familie met het stadspatriciaat te bestendigen.

  • The Rubens House
    THE RUBENS HOUSE HIGHLIGHTS THE RUBENS HOUSE HIGHLIGHTS 1 THE HOUSE In 1610 Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) and his first wife Isabella Brant (1591–1626) bought a house and a piece of land in Antwerp. In the years that followed, the artist had the building enlarged after his own design, adding a covered, semi-circular statue gallery, a studio, a portico in the style of a triumphal arch, and a garden pavilion. The improvements gave his home the air of an Italian palazzo and embodied Rubens’s artistic ideals: the art of Roman Antiquity and the Italian Renaissance. He also assembled an internationally admired collection of paintings and classical sculpture at the house. Rubens lived and worked here until his death in 1640. The building is believed to have retained its original appearance until the mid-seventeenth century, at which point it was fundamentally altered. Nowadays, the portico and garden pavilion are the only more or less intact survivals of the seventeenth-century complex. 2 My dear friend Rubens, Would you be so good as to admit the bearer of this letter to the wonders of your home: your paintings, the marble sculptures, and the other works of art in your house and studio? It will be a great delight for him. Your dear friend Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc Aix-en-Provence, 16 August 1626 3 1 Jacob Harrewijn (c. 1640–after 1732) The Rubens House in Antwerp, 1684, 1692 Engravings (facsimiles) These two prints are the earliest known ‘portraits’ of Rubens’s home.
