About the Item

17th Century Flemish Painting "A bustling scene of fishermen, merchants and visitors in a peaceful and picturesque port village” This intriguing painting offers a wonderful and realistic glimpse into life during the late 17th century. To the right, we can see merchants and fishermen walking along the docks and unloading merchandise. In the far distance, large houses and towers are dotted along the shoreline. The longer one looks at it, the more one discovers, inviting you to daydream about the lives lived long ago. Mathys Schoevaerts, also known as Matheus Schoevaerdts, was a Flemish painter born around 1665. He is known for his landscape paintings, often featuring lively scenes with numerous figures and detailed depictions of nature and architecture. Schoevaerdts' work is characteristic of the Flemish tradition of landscape painting, honouring the legacy of the Brueghel-dynasty. As with Jan Brueghel I and II, a common thread of their landscapes is the bucolic sense of happiness, and their small figures in anecdotic, detailed poses set against a backdrop of a pleasing landscape with finely composed buildings. Measurements: The total dimensions are approx. 40 by 51 cm and the canvas alone measures 27 by 38 cm. Provenance: German private collection (with faint inscription on the reverse Hans Graf)
