About the Item
Antichità Castelbarco SRLS is proud to present:
The Angel Appears to Hagar and Ishmael
Circle of Abraham Govaerts (Antwerp 1589 - 1626)
Oil on panel
33 x 50 cm. - with gilded wooden frame 43 x 61 cm.
The canvas shows a charming wooded landscape that opens up on the left, allowing a glimpse of a small village, which is the setting for the biblical episode of the angel, traditionally the archangel Michael, appearing to Hagar to save the baby Ishmael.
In particular, in the Book of Genesis (16-21), it is narrated that Abraham, driven by the will of his wife Sarah, drives away Hagar, the Egyptian slave girl by whom he had a son named Ishmael.
In the episode illustrated we see Hagar, lost in the desert of Bersheba and desperate for the imminent death of her little son, rescued by the angel who points out to her a spring to which she can take the little one, lying in the vegetation, to quench his thirst.
The panel in question is the work of a Flemish artist active in the circle of Abraham Govaerts (Antwerp 1589-1626), a landscape painter born and active during his career in Antwerp.
As frequently occurs in the history of painting, from the 16th century onwards, biblical narratives set in the open air served as a cue for artists to try their hand at landscape painting. This practice, which often involved the collaboration of two painters, one specialising in landscape painting and the other in outline figures, originated in the Dutch and Flemish countries, and was then passed on in Italy, and especially in Rome, at the beginning of the 17th century.
Govaerts devoted himself to the depiction of lush landscapes, in particular forests with a fantastic character and dense foliage, also showing panoramas in the distance bathed in a delicate light, which were to become a point of reference for an entire generation of artists.
The painting is in an excellent state of preservation, embellished by a beautiful carved and gilded wooden frame.

- Storm See Water Landscape Vernet 18th Century Paint Oil on canvas Old masterLocated in Riva del Garda, ITClaude-Joseph Vernet (Avignon, 1714 - Paris, 1789) workshop of The Storm on the Lighthouse 1750/60 Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 48 x 67 cm / framed 77 x 93 cm We share a highly pleasing work, a splendid marine executed by a talented painter from the workshop of the Frenchman Claude-Joseph Vernet, depicting a coastal view set in a Mediterranean port with the sea still stormy. The focal point of the composition is the large lighthouse at the entrance to the port, which, due to the power of the sea, was unable to bring to safety the ship that had crashed against the rocks, while the silhouette of a second sailing ship can be glimpsed in the distance. The canvas shows in full the pictorial, chromatic and narrative characteristics of the great master Vernet's coastal landscapes, characterised by the inimitable atmospheric conditions always hovering between darkness and light, storm and calm, instilling the observer with contrasting feelings, made even more intense by a palette of vibrant and highly contrasting colours. A similar composition, from which our author must necessarily have drawn, also attributed to the workshop of Claude Joseph Vernet is to be found in France, in Nantes, at the Musée d'Arts.  The effects of the light create a visual drama in the contrast between the darkness of the rain-laden storm clouds and the gash of clear sky that is opening up, pierced by the timid rays of light. The real magic of the painting is the painter's highly personal use of light and colour, with chiaroscuro effects that accentuate its three-dimensionality and movement. The compositional typology, as well as the quality of execution and attention to detail we are dealing with, are typical elements of the 'prototypes' conceived by the master, later taken up around the middle of the 18th century by his best pupils. Similar versions can be found in the most important international museums and private collections, belonging to a large series of paintings that the master created, together with his collaborators, during his stay in Italy. Vernet lived in Rome for twenty years (1734 - 1753), becoming particularly popular with English aristocrats who stopped there on their Grand Tour. International fame followed him from Rome to France, and to his English and French clients he added German princes...Category
