Follower of Jacques van der Wijen (Amsterdam 1586 - 1638), Deer Hunt

About the Item

Follower of Jacques van der Wijen (Amsterdam 1586 - 1638) Stag Hunting Oil on canvas, 124 x 161 cm With frame 137 x 173 cm Jacques van der Wijen, a Dutch painter of Flemish origin, was born in Amsterdam at an unspecified date, but it is known that he was active in his hometown from about 1604 until at least the mid-17th century. The son of Flemish immigrants, probably craftsmen or merchants, Van der Wijen had the opportunity to train in the thriving artistic environment of Amsterdam in the early seventeenth century. His training most likely took place in the workshop of Gillis van Coninxloo II, a renowned landscape painter. In this environment, Van der Wijen acquired the techniques and principles of landscape painting, a genre that was gaining popularity in the Netherlands at that time. The influence of Van Coninxloo II is evident in Van der Wijen's early works, which show a predilection for wooded landscapes and detailed natural views. Although details of his life are scarce, his works testify to a prolific output and a solid reputation as a landscape painter. His ability to depict nature, with particular attention to light and atmosphere, places him among the minor but significant landscape painters of the period. His works, often of large format, were intended for private collectors who appreciated his realistic and poetic depiction of the Dutch landscape. The painting depicts a wooded landscape, typical of Van der Wijen's works. The scene is dominated by towering trees that occupy much of the composition, creating a sense of depth and immersion in nature. In the foreground on the right are human figures, probably travelers or hunters, who add a narrative element to the scene. Van der Wijen demonstrates great skill in depicting nature, with particular attention to light and atmosphere. The colors are earthy and natural, with shades of green, brown and ochre creating a bucolic and dreamy atmosphere.
