Jan Miel ( 1599- 1663 ) - Hunters Resting - 17th Century Flemish Oil Painting

c. 1650

About the Item

Attributed/Close circle: Jan Miel (Flemish, 1599- 1663) A Hunting Party resting by Ruins • Oil on canvas, relined, ca. 52 x 70 cm • Later Frame, ca. 70 x 87 cm • Unsigned Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Jan Miel (1599 in Beveren-Waas, Belgium – April 1664 in Turin, Italy) was a Flemish painter and engraver who was active in Italy. He joined the fashionable group of Dutch and Flemish genre painters in Rome who are referred to as the 'Bamboccianti' and were known for their scenes depicting the lower classes in Rome. He then moved on painted historical subject matters in a classical manner. The painting on offer depicts a well painted hunting party with horses and hounds, resting by some impressing ruins. Jan Miel is well known to have painted various variations on this subject matter. Verso there is the stenciled Christie's Inventory number - According to Christie's London, this painting was owned by the dealer William Sabin (Sabin Galleries Ltd) and sold as Lot 34 on the 18th of December 1964 in London, described as ‘ J. Miel ‘, to the collector B. Cohen for 57 guineas. The painting resurfaces newly framed in 2020, when I purchased the painting out of a deceased Estate in Bern, Switzerland. The RKD (The Netherlands Institute for Art History) has, based on photographs, dated the painting to the 17th century. A well respected Swiss auction house seconded that dating. The old, handwoven canvas of painting has been relined (post 1964), remounted on the original stretcher and framed in a 20th century antique style wood frame, which presents very well. Considering the close compositional analogy to other, well-known works by Jan Miel, it's style and quality, the age of materials and of course the Christie's provenance, I offer for this fine - alas unsigned - painting a somewhat loose attribution to the 17th century Flemish painter Jan Miel himself and a firm attribution to Jan Miels closer 17th century circle. With some further research/expertise, a firm attribution to Jan Miel (1599- 1663) might become possible. This however, will be the future owner's quest. I am ASGrond - Art & Antiques.

  • Channel. 1965, canvas, oil, 80x100 cm
    By Jadviga Zjilvinska
    Located in Riga, LV
    Channel. 1970, cardboard, oil, 108x73 cm Jadviga Žilvinska (1918-2010) was born in Tallinn. She grew up in Liepāja, where her great interest in art began and strengthened, which led the young artist to study at the Art Academy of Latvia. During her studies at the Academy, she studied with K. Ubāns, V. Tone and J. Liepiņš, and defended her diploma thesis under the guidance of L. Liberts. Later on, she devoted her entire life to art, working at the Liepāja School of Fine Arts and as a portraitist at the "Māksla" combine. She had four favourite themes: landscapes, portraits, flowers and sacred painting. Her works have lyricism and inner harmony. In the portraits, we see not only the outer form of a person, but the artist allows us to look into the very essence of a person - it is likely that the models themselves often saw something new and bright in themselves through the artist's vision. The works are executed in various techniques - tempera, oil, pastel and watercolour. CV: 1938 - Graduated from the Liepaja Secondary School of Applied Arts, Department of Decorative Painting. 1943 - Latvian Academy of Art, L. Liberts Figurative Painting Workshop with her diploma work "At the Artist's" 1946-1948 - teacher of painting and drawing at Liepāja Fine Arts High School. 1948-1966 - portraitist at the "Māksla" combine Participated in exhibitions since 1948.
