About the Item
River landscape
Studio of Jan Brueghel the Younger (1601-1678)
17th century Antwerp school

This precious painting illustrates the view of a small village crossed by a canal with boats and canoes in the foreground. The slender trees punctuate this picturesque setting. The activity of the villagers is harmoniously highlighted against this peaceful background. The separation between the river and the sky seems to disappear in the misty distance thanks to the soft light.
An almost idyllic landscape that invites contemplation and daydreaming.
Painted on copper, the smooth support allows to enrich the composition with precise and realistic details.
Color plays a fundamental role in the balance of this work, a palette of warm tones to depict the village contrasts with the vibrant green trees against a backdrop of icy blue sky, while the water of the river is reflected in the tones blues and greens. This color combination creates a peaceful atmosphere magnified by a golden sky on the left, transporting the viewer to a natural and serene environment.
The attention paid to details, the finesse of the touch, the presence of water are all elements which direct us towards a student of Jan Breughel the Younger.
The genre of river landscape established by Jan Breughel the Elder and perpetuated by his son uses water as the main compositional element, running through the work and creating the interaction between nature and human activity.

- Allegory of Summer, workshop of Hendrick Van Balen 17th c. Antwerp schoolBy Hendrick van BalenLocated in PARIS, FRAllegory of summer, personified by Ceres Workshop of Hendrick Van Balen Antwerp School, early 17th century. Oil on copper, Dimensions: h. 52 cm, l. 40cm Antic giltwood frame Framed dimensions: h. 74 cm, l. 60cm Very good condition Our delicately painted work is part of the pictorial tradition that is both allegorical and mythological in vogue in Antwerp, whose leaders are Jan Brueghel the Younger and Hendrick Van Balen. Numerous works emerging from their workshops illustrate mythological subjects, the seasons, the elements, the senses or intertwining the lush landscapes, animals and gods of Olympus. At the heart of a green landscape dominated in its center by a generous apple tree, the beautiful Ceres, partially dressed in a large blue drape, is wearing a crown of ears of wheat, her symbol of the goddess of the earth and harvests. She holds the sickle in her right hand and carries sheaves of wheat. To her right a nymph holds the cornucopia while puttis pick and offer flowers. In the foreground are the summer fruits: figs, cherries, apples and lemons. A squirrel munching on cherries symbolizes toil and foresight, themes that are echoed in the work of the harvesters on the wheat fields in the background. The background is composed of vegetation, on the right a wild rose bush with its branches erect against a tree trunk, in the center of the trees with silvery green foliage. Our painter, a student of Hendrick Van Balen, finds his inspiration in the works of the master such as this nymph in yellow drapery seen from behind, one of the figures which accompanies many of the master's paintings. The elegant gestures, the flesh...The indisputable influence of Jan Brueghel the Younger is revealed in the treatment of trees and flowers, wild roses, tulips as well as in the still life with the squirrel in the foreground. The craze for this type of virtuoso painting where the mythological figures are only a pretext to better illustrate the landscape and plant species surrounding them, then generated orders from all over Europe. Hendrick Van Balen, Flemish painter, born and died in Antwerp (1575-1632). A student of Adam Van Noort, he entered the guild of Saint-Luc in 1593, later trained in Italy and was Van Dyck's first master. He often painted small characters taken from scenes from the Bible or classical mythology, on paintings in which Josse de Momper...Category

- Antique English 19th century marine sceneBy William AndersonLocated in Woodbury, CTOutstanding English late 18th / early 19th century marine scene by one of Britain's best known and sought after painters. William (or Wiliam) Anderson (1757 – 27 May 1837) was a Scottish artist specializing in maritime and patriotic themes. He was well-regarded for his detailed and accurate portraits of ships under sail, exhibiting his works annually in London between 1787 and 1811 and then occasionally until 1834. Anderson influenced other artists, notably John Ward and others of the Hull school. Anderson's early life is obscure, but he is known to have trained as a shipwright before moving to London to become a maritime painter when he was about 30. His training served him well as a painter, providing "a practical nautical knowledge" of his subjects. He earned a reputation for "accuracy and refinement of detail" and was admired for his bright, clear colours. He worked in both oils and watercolours. He based his style on that of well-known Dutch maritime...Category
