Trompe l'oeil, Trick of the Eye, Maria, Child St. Anthony, Van Dyck, Old Master

c. 1750

About the Item

After a copper engraving (46 x 34 cm) by Gilles Rousselet after Van Dyck, ca. 1640 Paris. Oil on cardboard, 44 x 35 cm Trompe-l'oeils are pictures whose depicted objects are painted so naturalistically that the viewer perceives them as actually existing. The picture reproduces in almost the same format a copperplate engraving by Gilles Rousselet after Van Dyck. Francois Xavier Vispré was a painter and graphic artist. He began his career in Paris and then moved to London, where he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy from 1760. This painting has stylistic parallels to other works by the artist and can therefore be attributed to him. Other trompe -l'oeil paintings by Vispré are known, including another with the motif of the copper engraving and the broken glass pane. In the course of glass production in the 18th century, transparent flat glass could be produced more cheaply and was now used to frame prints. This new form of presentation had an impact on artists. Within trompe l'oeil painting, a special form developed that showed framed graphic sheets with broken frames. Trompe l'oeil. Madonna and Child St. Anthony , Old Master, 18th Century,

  • Fine Old Master Portrait, by Gillis Claeissens, Portrait of a Lady, 1580, Bruges
    By Gillis Claeissens
    Located in Greven, DE
    Gillis Claeissens Portrait of a Lady, probably "Anne Joigny-de Pamele" Oil on wood, 35,5 x 28 cm Gillis Claeissens has only recently been rediscovered as an important portrait painter of the 16th century. He received his training in the studio of his father, Pieter I Claeissens. Gillis became a freemaster of the St Luke's Guild in Brussels in 1566 and worked at the court of Alexander Farnese in Brussels between 1589 and 1592. Later he was also court painter to the Archdukes Albert and Isabella. After his return to Bruges, he created portraits of high Bruges society. It was only through the Forgotten Masters exhibition in Bruges in 2018 that the work of Gillis Claeissens was rediscovered. The present painting recently turned up in a private collection and was confirmed as a typical work by Claeissens by Mrs Oosterwijk at the Museum Groeninghe in Bruges. Gillis Claeissens or Egidius Claeissens (Bruges, 1526 – Bruges, 17 December 1605) was a Flemish painter of portraits and altarpieces and a member of a prominent family of artists originating in Bruges. It has only been possible to distinguish Gillis Claeissens' work from that of his father and siblings after scholars discovered a contract with the artist for the painting of a tryptich. It was further discovered in 2015 that he artist can be identified with the Monogrammist G.E.C. These discoveries have allowed to recognise Gillis Claeissens as an important portraitist alongside Pieter Pourbus in 16th century Bruges.
