About the Item
Frans Pourbus (Bruges, 1545 - Antwerp, 1581) circle
Portrait of a gentleman in Renaissance dress with a black doublet and ruff
Late 16th century
Oil on canvas
46 x 32 cm. - 65 x 53 cm. (frame)
An ancient Flemish painting, oil on canvas, depicting a distinguished gentleman immortalised according to the most classic Nordic tradition, in three-quarter view, with his gaze intently scrutinising the spectator. Looking at the details, we can see the meticulous but light rendering of the facial features, the sharpness of the outlines emphasised by the light and the extraordinary expressive power of the eyes.
He is dressed in an elegant black doublet, the favourite colour of Renaissance princes, bourgeois and highly cultured intellectuals, with broad puffed shoulders, very few ornaments and enriched by a wide pleated white ruff known as a ‘mill wheel’, typical elements of fashionable clothing in the second half of the 16th century.
The attention to detail and the realism with which the portrait is painted are surprising, with particular attention paid to the gaze, which almost seems to be conversing with the viewer.
In particular, the stylistic models easily lead us to attribute it to an artist from the school of the famous portraitist Frans Pourbus the Elder (Bruges, 1545 – Antwerp, 1581), one of the most influential portraitists of his generation and a great interpreter of 17th-century Flemish civilisation, son of Pieter Pourbus (1523-1584) and pupil of Frans Floris. He was an author of altarpieces but also of numerous portraits characterised by their sobriety, with elegant and uniform tones, halfway between Adriaen Thomasz Key (Antwerp, 1544 - 1589) and Anthonis Moor van Dashorts (Utrecht 1519 - Antwerp 1576).
As can be seen from the work in question, his style owes much to Italian Renaissance portraiture, even if his surfaces are more detailed and glossy, in a style clearly of Nordic influence.
He became the undisputed reference point for this art, renowned for his extraordinary talent as a painter and for his ability to transpose the psychological acuity of his models onto canvas.

Portrait of Charles II, King of Spain, as a child (1661 -1700)
Spain, c. 1670 Oil on canvas 68 x 49 cm. - In antique frame 96 x 75 cm.
The analysis of this portrait, and in particular the style with which its features have been outlined, brings us back to the great tradition of the 17th century Spanish school.
The portrait depicts the young King Charles II of Spain, dressed in typical Spanish fashion, the youngest and only son of Philip IV of Spain and his second wife Maria Anna of Austria, as well as the last of the Habsburg dynasty to rule Spain. which portrayed the young ruler in full length at the age of four (dated 1665), dressed in a black suit and cape, and a large feathered...

Male and female portrait, both in silk kimono, possibly textile dealers
By Christoffel Lubieniecki
Located in Amsterdam, NL
CHRISTOFFEL LUBIENIECKI (1659-1729)
Pair of portraits of a gentleman and a lady, both in silk kimono, before a country house (circa 1680)
Indistinctly signed “C.......” on a box under the man’s left hand
Oil on canvas, 79.5 x 67 cm each
Both sitters are portrayed wearing a silk “Japanese” coat. During the second half of the seventeenth the Japanese silk coat, an adapted Japanese kimono, became a real vogue in the Dutch elite. The exclusive Dutch trade contacts with Japan can explain the popularity of the kimono-style silk coats in the Netherlands. Everybody who could afford one, dressed in such a fashionable and comfortable coat and, like the present sitters, some proud owners had themselves portrayed in a “Japanese” coat often together with an oriental carpet to underline their standing and international connections. These portraits are the work of the Polish-born portraitist Christoffel Lubieniecki (also known as Lubienitski, Lubinitski or Lubiniecki)
Lubieniecki was first trained in Hamburg under Julian Stuhr and after 1675 in Amsterdam under Adriaen Backer and Gerard de Lairesse. He specialized in landscapes, generally of an Italianate character, and in portraits. The loving execution of these contented burghers, enjoying the garden vistas of their country house, places him alongside Amsterdam portraitists such as Constantijn Netscher and Michiel van Musscher...
