Hendrick van LIMBORCH18th Century Galanti Scenes Van Limborch Rest Hunting Oil on Canvas Green Red
About the Item
Pair of oval paintings measuring 66 x 89 cm without frame and 90 x 115 cm with coeval frame depicting two gallant moments during a rest from hunting by painter Hendrik Van Limborch ( The Hague 1681 - 1759 ).
Beautiful color impact with these light, warm tones that go blending with the peace and tranquility of the rural world.
The main characteristics of Van Limborch's painting are the airy breadth of panoramas and the sense of diffuse brightness where episodes have no precise meaning. They are almost always country pastimes so dear to the 17th century, with the usual characters from the repertoire of the painters of whimsy and views: beggars, Orientals, abbots contemplating ancient tombstones or hunters seeking rest or at work all of course always immersed in nature's unchallenged dominance and symbol of unity between man and life.
The landscape motif even in the most imaginative accents always has in our painter a real cue and therefore a real and human dimension; in these paintings we can see this green so bright and alive that it tries to explain to us how much the nature that is around us and in which we lose ourselves is beautiful, strong, vigorous but at the same time gentle and docile.
Beautiful to note how the two pairs of people are on the one hand busy in their thoughts but at the same time seem lost in the serenity and tranquility of this old-time landscape.
Typical is his construction of the pictorial fabric, and particular is the atmospheric rendering played with the shadowy areas created by the scenic backdrops of trees and clouds.
As is the case in this painting, the perfect composition of the landscape became the main object of his work;
The tree-lined patches executed with free and quick brushstrokes, the warm burnished colors, the atmospheric rendering of the rising cloud mounds, all in a well-balanced composition of his landscapes with an Arcadian pastoral flavor, constitute the most significant elements of his painting, all of which are also well represented in our canvas.

- Early oil depicting the Great Fire of LondonLocated in London, GBThe Great Fire of London in September 1666 was one of the greatest disasters in the city’s history. The City, with its wooden houses crowded together in narrow streets, was a natural fire risk, and predictions that London would burn down became a shocking reality. The fire began in a bakery in Pudding Lane, an area near the Thames teeming with warehouses and shops full of flammable materials, such as timber, oil, coal, pitch and turpentine. Inevitably the fire spread rapidly from this area into the City. Our painting depicts the impact of the fire on those who were caught in it and creates a very dramatic impression of what the fire was like. Closer inspection reveals a scene of chaos and panic with people running out of the gates. It shows Cripplegate in the north of the City, with St Giles without Cripplegate to its left, in flames (on the site of the present day Barbican). The painting probably represents the fire on the night of Tuesday 4 September, when four-fifths of the City was burning at once, including St Paul's Cathedral. Old St Paul’s can be seen to the right of the canvas, the medieval church with its thick stone walls, was considered a place of safety, but the building was covered in wooden scaffolding as it was in the midst of being restored by the then little known architect, Christopher Wren and caught fire. Our painting seems to depict a specific moment on the Tuesday night when the lead on St Paul’s caught fire and, as the diarist John Evelyn described: ‘the stones of Paul’s flew like grenades, the melting lead running down the streets in a stream and the very pavements glowing with the firey redness, so as no horse, nor man, was able to tread on them.’ Although the loss of life was minimal, some accounts record only sixteen perished, the magnitude of the property loss was shocking – some four hundred and thirty acres, about eighty per cent of the City proper was destroyed, including over thirteen thousand houses, eighty-nine churches, and fifty-two Guild Halls. Thousands were homeless and financially ruined. The Great Fire, and the subsequent fire of 1676, which destroyed over six hundred houses south of the Thames, changed the appearance of London forever. The one constructive outcome of the Great Fire was that the plague, which had devastated the population of London since 1665, diminished greatly, due to the mass death of the plague-carrying rats in the blaze. The fire was widely reported in eyewitness accounts, newspapers, letters and diaries. Samuel Pepys recorded climbing the steeple of Barking Church from which he viewed the destroyed City: ‘the saddest sight of desolation that I ever saw.’ There was an official enquiry into the causes of the fire, petitions to the King and Lord Mayor to rebuild, new legislation and building Acts. Naturally, the fire became a dramatic and extremely popular subject for painters and engravers. A group of works relatively closely related to the present picture have been traditionally ascribed to Jan Griffier...Category
