(31 x 44.5 cm) PROVENANCE Private collection, United Kingdom, until 1992 Sale, Lawrence Fine Art of Crewkerne, Crewkerne, 14 May 1992, Lot 61 With Johnny Van Haeften Limited, London, 1992 Private collection, USA, 1992-2019 EXHIBITED Dutch and Flemish Old Master Paintings, Catalogue Eight, Johnny Van Haeften Limited, London, 1992, no. 2. NOTE We are reproducing here the catalogue entry from our exhibition catalogue of 1992 which was written by the late Professor Cynthia Lawrence, author of the 1991 monograph on Gerrit Berckheyde. Berckheyde’s panel presents a view of the Gasthuissingel, a canal intersecting with the Spaarne river to the south of Haarlem, with the Kleine Houtpoort in the right foreground. In the distance are two of the city’s other medieval monuments, the Kalistoren, a tower used to store powder, and, in the far distance, the Grote Houtpoort. A picturesque bridge leads out of the Kleine Houtpoort and over the river in the direction of the Haarlemmerwoud, a wooded area used for grazing and recreation. The composition of Berckheyde’s painting, as well as its soft golden light and lush atmospheric qualities, prompts comparisons with contemporary works by the French classicist Claude Lorrain which also include a prominent structure placed to one side of a body of water which recedes towards the rising or setting sun. While Berckheyde’s realistic depiction of this familiar Haarlem landmark evokes a sense of period ambiance, his analytical approach to composition, his geometric expression of forms, his stylized patterns of light and shadow and his apparent detachment from his subject create an impression of abstraction that strikes the twentieth-century eye as modern.

  • A Curious Detail in a Painting by Gerrit Adriaensz
    Guest blog for the CMS (Church Monuments Society) posted at https://churchmonumentssociety.org/2020/04/04/a-curious-detail-in-a-painting-by-gerrit- adriaensz-berckheyde-haarlem-1638-1698. A CURIOUS DETAIL IN A PAINTING BY GERRIT ADRIAENSZ. BERCKHEYDE (HAARLEM, 1638–1698) SOPHIE OOSTERWIJK Floors paved with ledger stones are an important feature of older Dutch churches to this day, and these floors also appear in paintings of the Golden Age. Several seventeenth-century Dutch artists specialised in paintings of church interiors, notably the Haarlem painter Pieter Saenredam (1597–1665), Gerard Houckgeest (c.1600– 1661), Hendrick Cornelisz. van Vliet (1611/12–1675), and Emanuel de Witte (1617– 1692). Their architectural paintings may show congregations listening to a sermon, but also include genre elements such as mothers breastfeeding, children at play, and dogs roaming or peeing against columns. Some architectural painters actually collaborated with contemporary artists more adept at depicting human figures, but such staffage, i.e. human figures painted by another artist, could also be added at a later date – especially in the eighteenth century – to enliven work that was perhaps regarded as too stark. The often diminutive size of the human figures indicates where the real interest lay (Fig. 1). Fig. 1. Pieter Jansz. Saenredam, with figures attributed to Pieter Jansz. Post (1608–1669), Interior of the church of St Bavo, Haarlem (1631), oil on panel, 82.9 x 110.5 cm, Philadelphia Museum of Art, https://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/102395.html. Another common genre motif in painted church interiors is that of a gravedigger at work on a grave beneath the church floor, surrounded by a wheelbarrow with sand, a spade, a crowbar, and a round baulk of timber to help support and move the slab covering the grave.

    Gerrit Adriaensz. Berckheyde (Haarlem 1638 - Haarlem 1698) A View of the the Haarlemmerhout, Haarlem oil on canvas 59.7 x 74.8 cm (23½ x 29½ in) The present painting is a slightly unusual example of the work of the preeminent chronicler of seventeenth- century Haarlem life, Gerrit Adriaensz. Berckheyde. It depicts the Haarlemmerhout, the oldest public park in the Netherlands, and there appears to be a wide range of Haarlem society visible in the work. Well-to-do figures stroll in the foreground or ride in the carriage amongst the trees on the left-hand side, and they stand in contrast to the image of a cow grazing in its paddock. Elsewhere we see the exuberant figures of children and dogs, whilst on the right-hand side we see two figures moving slowly through the park; one because he is pushing a heavy wheelbarrow, whilst the other, holding a walking stick, has the leisure to move serenely and elegantly. As mentioned, the Haarlemmerhout is the oldest public park in the Netherlands, and it lies on the southern side of Haarlem. It was never locked and so was a source of refuge for the city’s citizens to come and relax, and, as shown in Berckheyde’s work, was common ground for farm animals. The park has changed appearance considerably over the years: it was burned by the Spanish army during the siege of Haarlem (1572-1573), and so much of the wood had to be replanted. Then, in the eighteenth-century, Jan van Vorel redesigned much of it in keeping with the fashionable English style, which created more open spaces and vista, with a greater emphasis on recreation.
