Lambert de Hondt I (1620-1652)
Battle scenes
(2) Oil on panel, 18 x 13 cm
Signature in the bottom middle
The figures of knights and soldiers in the work under consideration are fully attributable to the production of Flemish painter Lambert de Hondt I. This attribution finds solid ground in stylistic comparisons with works preserved in prestigious institutions. In particular, significant affinities can be found with paintings housed in Frankfurt's Städel Museum and Apsley House. In these canvases, we admire the same treatment of the sky, characterized by a brilliant shade of blue, a distinctive element of his palette. The way de Hondt I deals with the figures of soldiers and horses is also consistent with other published and documented works, such as those in the RKD portal.
Biographical information on Lambert de Hondt the Elder is, unfortunately, fragmentary. It is known that he was the son of Rombout de Hondt. A certain date is June 12, 1632, the day his marriage to Anna Tousijn in Mechelen (also known by its French toponym of Malines) is recorded. It is certain that the artist did most of his professional work in this city, strategically located between the two important art centers of Brussels and Antwerp, which may have influenced his production and artistic relationships. The date of his death can be inferred indirectly: February 10, 1665 is the date of his widow's remarriage, indicating that Lambert de Hondt I must have already passed away before that day.
He is sometimes confused in attributions with another artist Lambert de Hondt II or the young man, with whom there are obvious differences to the point that the former is called the old man and the latter the young man. A kinship probably existed between the two.
The artist was peculiarly part of the painting scene of his time, distinguished by a varied production ranging from equestrian and battle scenes to genre paintings, landscapes, and religious subjects. These works call to mind the manner of David Teniers the Younger, suggesting a stylistic influence or thematic resonance with Flemish painting contemporary with him. The predilection for horses and cavalry scenes is evident, flanked by depictions of village life and hunting scenes.
As was customary at the time, de Hondt was an artist inclined toward collaboration, a practice that testifies to the interconnected nature of the seventeenth-century art system. His partnership with Willem van Herp is particularly significant. In these conjoined works, he was responsible for drafting the landscape, while van Herp added the figures, as seen in paintings such as Noah gathering his family and animals into the Ark, Orpheus enchanting animals, and St. Francis with animals. These canvases, characterized by a similar composition, represent a variation on the theme of the so-called "paradisiacal landscape." This genre, made famous and popular by Jan Brueghel the Elder, depicts the Garden of Eden as narrated in the Book of Genesis, populated by a multitude of animals, fish and birds, an expression of divine creation.
De Hondt certainly reached such high levels of execution that his works became part of important collections, as in the case of An Encampment with Soldiers Playing Cards, now at the Wellington Museum (Apsley House, London), which was marked with a white fleur-de-lis on the back, a symbol of the artworks part of Elizabeth Farnese's private collection. Often his compositions are, as in this case, accompanied by the signature L.D. HONDT.
The person on horseback, the protagonist of the two tablets, has been identified as John Maurice of Nassau-Siegen, a powerful diplomat who served as Dutch governor in Brazil in the 17th century.

The stop of a traveler on horseback near a post station
Oil painting on canvas
45 x 55 cm
In frame cm. 55 x 65
In this pleasant painting, depicting a knight parked near a post station, the Flemish tradition is based on a strong Italianizing sensitivity, especially by observing the setting and its peculiar brightness.
The mixture of genres and the particular style of execution make it easy to trace the authorship back to a Nordic author but active in Rome, or strongly influenced by the style in vogue in the Eternal city, between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: we are referring, in in particular, to a follower of the Antwerp Simon Johannes van Douw.
The chromatic elegance and refinement with which he outlines the figures are typical aspects of his painting.
The scene takes place outside a cottage, probably a post office for travelers, where a modest family divides the tasks by assisting the knights. We see a young boy who hands water to the horse before he sets off again, the father is preparing to feed him with straw and the mother who instead takes care of the little son.
The Italian reminiscences, evident in our painting, have been absorbed by many Northern European authors such as Nicolaes Berchem, Philips Wouwerman or Johannes Lingelbach, all inspired by the leader Pieter van Laer...
