About the Item
Scuola di Anversa
Attribuito a Gerard Thomas
(Anversa 1663-1720)
Lo studio del medico
Gerard Thomas è un pittore fiammingo di epoca tardo barocca. Apprendista nel 1688, due volte decano della corporazione (nel 1695 e nel 1706). Intorno al 1700 si specializza nella pittura d'interni, ispirandosi alle opere di David Teniers e alle vedute di interni degli studi di artisti, alchimisti, speziali, geografi e filosofi. Questo tema è influenzato dalla tradizione dei gabinetti amatoriali di Anversa, una sorta di museo privato dei ricchi mercanti fiamminghi. Studia anche come alchimista, e questo interesse lo ispirerà a realizzare alcune delle sue opere più notevoli.
Mentre i suoi predecessori preferivano inquadrature più o meno ravvicinate, per privilegiare le figure piuttosto che gli ambienti, Thomas distanzia il punto di vista attribuendo grande importanza all'ambiente e soprattutto ai numerosissimi oggetti in esso contenuti, dipinti di grande ricchezza di dettaglio, dall'immancabile prezioso mappamondo, quasi la sua firma, alla comune scopa, dai vasi in terracotta smaltata alle lampadine in vetro, dagli alambicchi agli antichi volumi rilegati in pergamena, passando per utensili e i più svariati contenitori di uso quotidiano. Sono stati studiati gli effetti della luce su diversi materiali, vetro, rame, argento, peltro...
I suoi soggetti furono spesso fraintesi, semplificati dal riduttivo appellativo di "ciarlatano" o "alchimista". In realtà nei suoi dipinti si utilizzano spesso vere e proprie cliniche in cui il medico, con apprendisti e aiutanti, esercitava il suo mestiere, raffigurate con grande realismo e precisione.
Non è un caso che alcuni suoi dipinti facciano parte della collezione di Sir Henry Wellcome (1853-1936), magnate farmaceutico britannico e fondatore della Wellcome Foundation, appassionato collezionista di oggetti legati alle scienze della medicina, nonché all'arte e alla guarigione. nei secoli.
Il nostro dipinto appartiene proprio al filone medico. Molti elementi portano a pensare che si tratti effettivamente di un test di gravidanza: al centro della scena vediamo un medico, ansioso di osservare in trasparenza il liquido contenuto in un'ampolla di vetro. Accanto a lui, una donna, accompagnata dalla figlia, attende con impazienza la risposta.
Il dipinto è accompagnato dalla perizia dello storico dell'arte prof. Massimo Pirondini, esperto di pittura del XVII e XVIII secolo. In cornice in legno dorato e laccato del XVIII secolo italiano.

Antique oil painting, Boy Fleaing a Dog, Gerard ter Borch, Dutch golden age

Gerard ter Borch (II) (1617-1681), copy after, around 1700
'Boy Fleas a Dog'

Professionally restored (cleaned and relined)
In modern frame in 17th century style
Dimensions excl. frame: 33 x 27,5 cm.

Depcited is a boy busy fleaing a dog. The boy sits on a chair with the dog on his lap. On a table on the right there is a book and a pen. On a wooden bench lies the boy's hat.
What is unique about this painting by Ter Borch, is the relationship that is depicted between human and animal. Mostly animals like dogs where depicted as an attribute in paintings in the 17th century, and sometimes used to symbolize certain character traits. This boy is lovingly caring for his dog, which he is giving his full attention.
Another interesting detail is that Ter Borch's brother Moses, was probably the model for this painting. Ter borch often used family members as models for his paintings. Moses was also a very talented painter and draughtsman.
Several copies of this work by Ter Borch are known. One of these copies is in the collection of the Dutch Rijksmuseum (Image included in the image gallery (last image)).
The original painting is in the collection of the Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany.

The Grape Seller - Workshop of Jacob Ochtervelt
Located in Stockholm, SE
Jacob Ochtervelt (Workshop)
The Grape Seller
oil on canvas
unframed: 80.7 x 61 cm.; 31 ¾ x 24 in.
framed: 109.5 x 89 cm.; 43 1/8 x 35 in.
Essay:
This captivating piece, originating from the studio of the revered Dutch artist Jacob Ochtervelt, mirrors the composition of a signed and dated 1669 canvas by Ochtervelt that is presently housed in the Hermitage museum. Its subject, "The Grape Seller" immerses us in a typical 17th-century interior, replete with characters from various strata of society.
At the center, a fruit vendor is depicted bending over to weigh grapes for the buyer. A child hands some of the grapes to her mother to taste, their attentive maid standing by. The backdrop showcases typical Ochtervelt details: a hint of the city visible through the doorway, light filtering in through an overhead window, and a playful dog at their side.
The exquisite quality of the piece is evident in the minutiae, such as the intricate detailing of the mother's earring, which in reality spans only a few millimeters yet boasts impressive attention to detail. Initially, Sotheby's considered this work to be an autograph piece by Ochtervelt. But due to some uncertainty, it was auctioned as Workshop of Jacob Ochtervelt. On the other hand, the esteemed Cabinet Turquin in Paris leans toward attributing the piece directly to Jacob Ochtervelt himself.
The painting is framed in an authentic period frame, which has been delicately restored by Stockholm's Förgyllning och Bildhuggeri. The frame retains its age-old patina and, while in used condition, has minor imperfections adding to its charm.
Another interesting thing worth to mention is the painting's provenance. It was once owned by the 1st Viscount Rothermere (1868-1940), the founder of the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror...
