Madonna Angels Van Balen Paint Oil on table Old master 16/17th Century Flemish

1590-1650

About the Item

Hendrick van Balen (Antwerp 1575 - 1632) workshop Possible Jan van Balen (Antwerp 1611 - 1654) Madonna and Child with Three Angels Oil on panel 65 x 50 cm. - in frame 94 x 80 cm. All the details relating to this painting can be viewed at the following - LINK - The pleasing sacred image immortalized in this work is based on the canonical compositional layout with the Madonna holding the infant Jesus still in swaddling clothes, seen in a playful moment, while the mother tickles the little one's lip to make him laugh; at their side three chubby little angels who, like curious children, enjoy observing the scene. Focusing on the refinement of the poses and the vividness of the color material, the sacredness of the image is softened by the spontaneous gestures of the protagonists, leading one to think of a scene from everyday life rather than a religious image. The vivid colors also emphasize the joyful event, although the golden background and the luminous halo propagated by the Virgin recall the divine dimension of the characters. The stylistic elements of the painting are part of the Romanist current developed in Antwerp on the eve of Rubens' return from Italy, and characterized as a kind of Nordic variant of mature Italian Mannerism. The author of this work, which can be dated to the early 17th century, although the pictorial stylistic features are still indebted to chronologically earlier models, is to be found in the large group of pupils of the Flemish master Hendrick van Balen. In our opinion, it would be attributable to the hand of his son and pupil Jan van Balen (Antwerp 1611 - 1654) in particular, showing a perfect example of his painting, in whose products we can identify the typical characteristics of the Italianising Flemish current inherited from his father. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is completed by an attractive wooden frame and is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.

Saint John Evangelist Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century French School
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Saint John the Evangelist French school of the eighteenth century Oil painting on canvas 82 x 64 cm. - in frame 102 x 84 cm. In this pleasant painting we see the portrait of the evangelist John, holding a pen in his hand while writing the pages of the Gospel, while behind him it is possible to recognize the profile of an eagle, his typical iconographic attribute. The graceful face, which still reveals the devout attitude, which gives the painting a more intimate and delicate, not excessive religiosity, is one of the typical characteristics for works intended for domestic devotion, as in the case of this Saint John. From the representation of the Saint the freshness of his features immediately stands out, he is in fact portrayed as young and handsome: and it is precisely this iconographic peculiarity that makes the work fascinating and very pleasant, probably commissioned for a private room. The painting presents the peculiarities of eighteenth-century French portraiture, characterized by a soft drawing and a wise use of light. The rather marked chiaroscuro and well-calibrated shades produce an excellent result thanks to the play of light on the face, highlighted by the dark background of the scene. The painting has been relined and is in an excellent state of conservation with the colors still bright and a very healthy pictorial layer. The painting is sold together with a nice golden frame. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic card. We take care and organize the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers. It is also possible to see the painting in the Riva del Garda...
