Religious Flemish Painting Jesus Satan Temptation Tribute Baroque 17th 18th

About the Item

Flemish school 17th or 18th century Circle of Thomas WILLEBOIRTS BOSSCHAERT (Berg-op-Zoom, 1613 - Antwerp, 1654) Oil on canvas 72 x 59 cm (90 x 77 cm with frame) This work has been painted in a style close to the Antwerp school of the middle of the 17th century, to Anton van Dyck especially. We have found in particular several paintings similar to our painting in the works of Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert. After having studied with Gerard Seghers in Antwerp between fifteen and twenty-three, Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert became close to Anton van Dyck, whose workshop he may have frequented. A painting by Van Dyck, of very similar composition maybe with the same subject, was on sale at Sothebys in 2016. The composition of our painting is also very close to the painting by Titian who illustrated this episode of Caesar's denarius, and Van Dyck made a version of it that is also close in the composition, illustrating this precise moment when Jesus is shown a coin of Cesar. "Hypocrites!", he said, "why do you want to put me to the test? Show me the coin of the tax." They presented him with a piece of silver." "From the Emperor Caesar," they replied. Then he said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is to God." (Matthew 22:18-21) This said, since one does not see a coin in the hand of the tempting man in our painting, it is possible that the subject be The woman taken in adultery, with the man arguing with Jesus, a finger pointing to his other hand !
