About the Item

Attributed to Daniel Vertangen (1601–1683) – "Satyrs and Nymphs in a Landscape" Artist: Attributed to Daniel Vertangen (1601–1683) Title: "Satyrs and Nymphs in a Landscape" Medium: Oil on canvas Framed Dimensions: 141 x 125 cm Canvas Dimensions: 122 x 102 cm No Signatured Description This exquisite oil painting, attributed to Daniel Vertangen (1601–1683), a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his mythological and Arcadian landscapes, presents a lively Bacchic scene in a serene classical landscape. The composition is carefully structured, with lush foliage and towering trees framing a group of nymphs and satyrs engaging in a scene of revelry and seduction. The golden light filtering through the leaves enhances the dramatic contrast between light and shadow, a hallmark of Dutch and Flemish Baroque art. The figures, executed with elegance and movement, echo the influence of Peter Paul Rubens and Cornelis van Poelenburgh, both of whom inspired Vertangen’s depictions of mythological themes. The nymphs, shown partially draped or nude, represent the idealized beauty characteristic of 17th-century classicism, while the satyrs—creatures associated with Bacchus, wine, and hedonism—add an element of playful mischief. The distant rolling hills and atmospheric perspective in the background create a sense of depth, while the delicate rendering of trees, sky, and figures showcases the artist’s technical mastery. The painting’s refined balance between pastoral tranquility and dynamic human interaction makes it a quintessential Arcadian scene, highly sought after by collectors of Dutch Baroque and classical mythology-themed works. Provenance & Condition Framed in a richly ornamented gilt frame, complementing its historical significance. Surface in good condition, with minor craquelure and patina appropriate for its age. Attributed to Daniel Vertangen based on stylistic elements and subject matter, though further authentication is advised for investment purposes. This museum-quality piece is an exceptional addition to any collection of Dutch Golden Age art, Baroque mythological paintings, or classical pastoral scenes.
