A remarkable work by the renowned Flemish painter Pieter van Bloemen, this dramatic robbery scene exemplifies the artist’s skill in narrative composition, dynamic movement, and detailed depictions of figures and animals. Set in a lush, atmospheric landscape, the painting captures an intense moment of confrontation between mounted bandits and their victims, showcasing van Bloemen’s ability to balance tension and realism.
The scene unfolds with a group of armed robbers on horseback, ambushing travelers laden with goods. The central figure, a man on a rearing white horse, commands attention, while expressive gestures, rich textures, and masterful use of light and shadow heighten the drama. Horses, one of van Bloemen’s signature subjects, are rendered with precision and vitality, further enhancing the realism and action.
Executed in the Baroque tradition, this piece reflects van Bloemen’s influences from his time in Italy, blending Flemish detailing with the grandeur of Roman landscapes. The elaborate gilt Rococo-style frame complements the painting’s historical significance, making it a highly desirable addition for collectors of 17th-century European art.

17th-Century Tavern Scene
Oil on canvas
Framed: 113 x 103 cm Canvas: 96 x 91 cm
This 17th-century oil painting captures a lively tavern scene, a popular subject in Dutch and Flemish genre painting of the Golden Age. The composition is rich in character and storytelling, depicting a group of men engaged in a card game, with coins, letters, and drinks scattered across the table. A standing woman, possibly a barmaid or concerned onlooker, leans in, while a man enters from the left, holding his hat and appearing amused by the game. In the foreground, a small child tends to a jug and tankard, adding a touch of humor and domestic realism.
Executed in oil on canvas, the painting showcases earthy, warm tones and rich chiaroscuro, emphasizing the candlelit glow of the scene. The artist masterfully captures the textures of fabrics, wood, and metal, giving depth and dimension to the environment. The expressive faces and animated gestures highlight the social interactions typical of Dutch and Flemish tavern paintings...
