Johann Heinrich Schönfeld (Biberach an der Riß, March 23, 1609 - Augsburg, 1684) (attr.)

Johann Heinrich Schönfeld (Biberach an der Riß, March 23, 1609 - Augsburg, 1684) was a German painter and engraver, also very active in Italy. He was the eldest son of Johann Baptist Schönfeld and Susanna Schumacher. His father, an accomplished goldsmith, was mayor of Biberach an der Riß, and his family once belonged to the nobility.
The artist trained at home with the painter Johann Sichelbein of Memmingen: from this very early segment of the artist's activity we are left with only the charcoal sketch on paper for a Diana signed and dated 1626. In the late 1720s, the then-young painter was in Stuttgart at the ducal court, as was Johann Wilhelm Baur, an engraver and miniaturist, whom he would later meet again in Rome. Beginning in 1633 he sojourned extensively in Italy, not only because of the Thirty Years' War, which in those years bloodied central Europe and greatly hindered the art market in the Germanic countries, but also because of the fascination exerted by the peninsula, perceived on German soil as a destination for intellectual pilgrimages. He was first in Rome, where he was influenced by the classicist tendencies of Nicolas Poussin and the Baroque decorativism of Pietro da Cortona, then, beginning in 1638, in Naples, where he made his own, reinterpreting the Caravaggio-esque luminism of Bernardo Cavallino. During the Roman period, he frequented other German artists, certainly including Joachim von Sandrart and Johann Wilhelm Baur. He painted a Visitation (ca. 1647), now lost, for the Church of Sant'Elisabetta de' Fornari, property of German bakers in Rome. He was also under the protection of Paolo Giordano II Orsini. Returning to Swabia in 1652 (after the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 the art market had revived), he settled in Augsburg, where he enjoyed considerable success with both private collectors and ecclesiastical patrons: his is the altarpiece of the Assumption in the city cathedral. Also numerous are his paintings with historical and mythological subjects (now preserved mainly in Dresden, Vienna and St. Petersburg). The artist from Biberach an der Riß is considered by today's critics to be one of the most eminent German painters of the Baroque era, who, with his brightness of touch and delicacy of color, anticipated certain aspects of Rococo art in Germany.
The two beautiful canvases in question may constitute the second version of two particularly well-known paintings in the German artist's pictorial corpus, the Lady on Horseback at a Tavern in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (inv. Gemäldegalerie, 6301), which became part of the prestigious Viennese institution's collections in 1915, and The Soldiers Playing Dice from the collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein, acquired by the royals of the small Central European state as early as 1697, just a few years after the artist's death, testifying to the German painter's great critical fortune as early as the second half of the 17th century.
