About the Item
Anthoon van Dyck (Antwerp 1599 - London 1641) follower
Large canvas depicting ‘The Myth of Jupiter and Antiope’
(Ovid's Meramorphoses, Book VI)
Oil on canvas
116 x 150 cm. - with frame 133 x 165 cm.
We are sharing a valuable work, able to fascinate any connoisseur or collector of works from the Flemish Golden Age: we are talking about a painting of the famous ‘Jupiter and Antiope’ painted by Anthoon van Dyck (Antwerp 1599 - London 1641) in 1620, of which several examples are known, one of which is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, another in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne (imm1 and imm2).
This episode, taken from Book VI of Ovid's Metamorphoses, shows the seduction of the nymph Antiope by the god Jupiter. The beautiful nymph, asleep and lying on the ground wrapped in a red drape, was seduced by the Lord of Olympus, who took the form of a satyr for the occasion, as he could not have her in divine form.
Van Dyck depicts here the moment of the initial deception, when Antiope abandons herself in the embrace of Jupiter, who lasciviously crawls silently towards her bed with his hand outstretched to touch her. He is depicted with the horns and hairy legs of a satyr, while his muscular build and the eagle in the background allude to his true identity as Jupiter, king of the gods.
The plasticity of the figures and the combination of colours, intense and bright, are exceptional and enhance the sensual character of this composition, enhanced by the bold and sculptural poses.
Consider that Van Dyck was only 20 years old when he created this painting, demonstrating an astonishing artistic maturity, with a scene of strong sensual character, and his virtuosity in immortalising nude figures.
In fact, the painting was immediately appreciated by 17th-century collectors who, under the pretext of the mythological theme, had the excuse of admiring subjects with a markedly erotic tone (always considering the historical context) without fear of repercussions.
The work's success encouraged its widespread diffusion, so much so that numerous paintings are known to have been executed by artists either chronologically close to Van Dyck or active at a time immediately after its creation, in order to please some patrons who wished to keep their own version.
It is our opinion that the painting presented here, finely executed, is the work of a Flemish artist, active between the 17th and 18th century, to be sought among the followers of Anthony van Dyck, who masterfully reworked his masterpiece.

Galante Scene Vermeer d'Utrecht Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Old Art
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Flemish painter of the 18th century - Follower of Jan van der Meer, called Vermeer d'Utrecht (Schoonhoven, verses 1630 - 1692)
Courtship scene at the entrance of an inn
oil on canvas, 70 x 62 cm. (with frame 80 x 72 cm.)
This pleasant genre scene, depicting a young innkeeper conversing amiably with a gentleman as she prepares to serve him wine in a glass goblet that she still holds in her hand, is inspired by the painting made in 1653 by the Dutch painter Jan van der Meer, known as Vermeer d'Utrecht, and today kept in Paris at the Louvre Museum.
Set outside an inn or a post station, the scene illustrates the theme of seduction, with the young waitress being courted by the client, a charming traveler with a changing red cloak, who tries to charm her.
Yes, it is a work that harmoniously combines the painter's Dutch origins, with the stylistic characters learned during his training in his homeland, with the Italian-like characters learned during his trip to Italy around 1655. In Rome, in particular, he met and collaborated with various authors of the Bamboccianti school, first of all Jan Miel...

Madonna Maria Sassoferrato Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Madonna with Sleeping Child
Follower of Giovan Battista Salvi known as 'il Sassoferrato' (1609 - 1685)
Roman painter 18th century
Oil on canvas
Measurements: canvas 64 x 50 cm, in frame 76 x 62 cm.
This delicate depiction of the Madonna in adoration of the Child exhibits all the human dimension and sweetness of the maternal atmosphere: Mary clasps the sleeping child to her in a tender embrace, which touches her cheek, enveloped and protected by the mantle and even a flap of the mother's veil.
The pictorial style and composition recall the ambit of Giovan Battista Salvi, the Sassoferrato, who distinguished himself expressly for this subject, with the Virgin immortalised in a humble and strongly earthly pose, depicted with simple white, red and blue colours and delicate plays of nuances on the faces and hands.
This iconographic prototype was so successful that it became the painting for countless works destined for devotion during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly appreciated for private commissions due to its marked gentleness and formal perfection, particularly of the faces.
Born in Marchigiano, Salvi developed his activity in Rome, following the dictates of the classicist sacred painting of the Bolognese school of Reni, Carracci and Domenichino, but succeeding in having an autonomous and therefore clearly distinguishable style.
In very good overall condition, there are some small scattered restorations and some unravelling of the painted surface. Framed in a beautiful gilded frame.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.
We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.
