David Vinckboons
The peasant's sorrow - David Vinckeboons (1576 - 1632)

1620

About the Item

Oil on panel Around 1620. A family of well dressed townspeople indulge in food and beverages in a tavern. In the left corner, a poor man carrying a basket is being sent away by force. The lower part of the painting comprises of a woman begging on her knees in front of a chest filled with jewelry and a money pouch. Vinckboons, born in Mechelen moved to Antwerp around 1580. After the occupation of Antwerp (and the start of the Eighty Years War), the family took flight to the Northern Netherlands in 1585. According to Karel van Mander, David Vinckboons did not have any teacher, but clearly he was inspired by Flemish Masters as Pieter I Brueghel, Jan I Brueghel and Roelland Savery. Vinckboons treated this topic ("Boerenverdriet/boerenvreugd” or “Peasants' sorrow-joy”) several times . Our work is a typical and iconic example for the masters period in Amsterdam around 1620 (eg Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, inv. SK-A-1351).

  • Portrait of a child holding peaches - Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp (1594-1652)
    Located in Gent, BE
    Oil on panel Portrait of a child holding peaches, accompanied by a dog. We are grateful to Fred Meijer for confirming the attribution on the basis of high-resolution photographs. The present portrayal of a silk-robed child, attended by a pedigree puppy and holding a sprig of expensive, exotic fruit, exudes the burgeoning wealth of the mid-17th century Dutch Republic, and is characteristic of the accomplished hand of Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp. The sex of the present child is difficult to determine with certainty, as young boys also were attired in dresses at this time, but the silk bonnet...
