About the Item
Jacob Duck (1600–1667) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who specialized in guardroom interiors, or “cortegaerdje.” He was born in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and was a pupil of Pieter Codde.
Duck was the most successful exponent of the genre of guardroom interiors, where soldiers are depicted in the company of elegantly dressed ladies, often eating and drinking together in a highly social, merry setting. The genre originated in the 1620s in Amsterdam, where it enjoyed enormous popularity, its main exponents being Willem Cornelisz. Duyster and Pieter Codde. The latter’s studio produced a number of very accomplished practitioners in the genre, Jacob Duck amongst them. Duck rarely dated his pictures, but the costumes and silvery tonality of this work suggest a dating to the mid 1630s.
Duck’s paintings are characterized by their lively compositions, their realistic depiction of soldiers and ladies, and their use of light and shadow. He was a master of depicting the details of military uniforms and weapons, and his paintings often provide valuable insights into the life of soldiers in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century.
Duck was a successful painter during his lifetime, and his work was collected by many important patrons, including the Stadholder Frederik Hendrik of Orange. He died in Utrecht in 1667.
