Paulus Bor (1605-1669), was a Dutch artist who was both a representative of the “Golden Age” (Dutch Golden Age painting) and a member of the art society "Bentvueghels". The Bentvueghels was a society of Dutch and Flemish artists active in Rome from about 1620 to 1720. He was born and died in Amersfoort, a city in the Netherlands, and was a member of a wealthy family. He arrived in Rome towards the beginning of the third decade of the 17th century and remained there until 1626. During his stay in Rome, he founded the Bentvueghels, together with other artists. This beautiful panel depicts a theme investigated many times in the first half of the 17th century; that of the philosophers Heraclitus and Democritus. As we can see from the painting, the two philosophers react very differently to the vicissitudes of human beings and the world. While one cries and despairs, the other laughs about it. The two philosophers are also usually portrayed alongside a globe, but in this case Bor decided to replace the usual globe with a large map. The entire surface of the painting presents beautiful plays of light.

Studio of Joos van Cleve (1485 – 1541), Antwerp
First half of 16th century
Oil on oak panel, h. 55 cm, w. 43 cm
A 17th century ebonized wood frame
Framed: h. 100 cm, w. 83 cm
Provenance:
• Advertisement in Burlington Magazine, 1929, at the antique dealer Paul Larsen, 34 Duke's Street, London, United Kingdom
• Clowes Sale, Christie's London, 7 July 1950, lot 153 (as Joos Van Cleve)
• Acquired from the Katz antique dealers in Dieren (Netherlands) in the 1950s (one of the most important art galleries in the Netherlands specialising in Old Masters)
• By descent, private European collection
The composition of our painting depicting two naked babies embracing, Jesus and Saint John the Baptist, draws its source from a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, probably executed in Milan around 1490 (kept at Windsor Castle, United Kingdom).
This scheme, widespread early in the Lombard school, was widely reproduced by Leonardo's Milanese followers (Marco d'Oggiono, Bernardino de Conti or Bernardino Luini.)
It is very likely that Joos Van Cleve was inspired by one of the works of his artists during his stay in Italy, however some historians hypothesize that he borrowed the figures from the painting by Marco d'Oggiono who had copied it on site in Flanders (it would have belonged to Margaret of...
