About the Item

Lucas Van Uden (Antwerp 1595 - Antwerp 1673) Signed lower right: (Lucas v. ud...) Hillside landscape with pond oil on wood panel 34 x 54 cm, with frame 51 x 71 cm. Work published in the RDK archive Provenance: Christie's (Important Old Master Pictures, 10 July 1998, London, page 149 of the catalogue, Estimate: € 22,754 - € 30,338 (£15,000 - £20,000)) D24-034 € 8.500 REQUEST INFORMATION The proposed painting is attributed to Lucas Van Uden (Antwerp 1595 - 1672), a Flemish painter and engraver specialising in landscapes and active mainly in Antwerp in the 17th century. The painting is catalogued as an autograph work in the archive of the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History, where it is listed as having passed through Christie's with an estimate of £15,000-20,000 (Important Old Master Pictures, 10 July 1998, London, page 149 of the catalogue). Van Uden's great talent was to observe nature, often from life, reporting the luminous effects of atmospheric changes. His landscapes, which tended to be relatively traditional in terms of composition, are in fact remarkable for their skilful manipulation of light, an aspect that we can also detect in the present work, where the brightly coloured sky is clearing as a thunderstorm is drawing to a close. In his paintings, which show sweeping but meticulously detailed views, in which the green of nature in its various shades stands out, there are small human figures: fishermen, travellers or peasants, who were often painted by David Teniers II, with whom he occasionally collaborated. The works are based on a recurring compositional and stylistic scheme: the foreground usually has a small bank animated by figures and surmounted by slender birch trees. In the centre there are hilly landscapes that go deep into the landscape, with quiet atmospheres, small country buildings, small lakes or rivers with reflections of trees and clouds, shrubs or rows of trees with dense, rounded foliage.

  • Storm See Water Landscape Vernet 18th Century Paint Oil on canvas Old master
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Claude-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...
