About the Item

18th century Flemish school Oil on panel Trace of a signature lower left ? 32 x 39 cm (46 x 56 cm with frame) Beautiful old frame in gilded wood from the Empire period This landscape, very finely drawn, very luminous, with beautiful colors reminds of the landscapes of the great Dutch masters of the 17th century. There is a painting by the Harlem painter Gillis Rombouts in the Strasbourg Museum of Fine Arts with a similar composition, a landscape with a bridge in the center and a river, a cottage on the right, and passing figures and tall trees on both side. But the style of our painting, very luminous, with vivid colors, seems to indicate a painter further south. This reminds of the masters of the Antwerp school, Isaak van Oosten and Pieter Gysels for example. Their landscapes were characterized by a simple composition with open spaces, a river or pond and a road (here on the left and in the center) with a different sentiment, a great calm, as well as a fine and soft light which reminds of Italy. The finesse of the almost naturalistic drawing of the foliage - without however resembling the trees of 19th century realist painters such as Barend Koekkoek - as well as the colors and the glazing technique used here also show a painter who was undoubtedly Flemish and who probably painted in the 18th century. The finesse of the drawing of the characters is also remarkable, which reminds us that there were often collaborations among Nordic painters. We know, for example, that Willem van Herp painted van Oosten's characters in many of his paintings, and Pieter van Avont as well. Jan van Kessel the Elder painted animals and still lifes.
