About the Item
Mattheus Terwesten (The Hague, 1670 - 1757)
Portrait of a young woman with palette and brushes, as Allegory of the art of Painting
Oil on canvas
160 x 91 cm. - In frame 178 x 107 cm.
This splendid, striking painting shows us a fascinating female figure portrayed full-length and life-size, a young girl easily identifiable as an allegory of the Art of Painting.
A bunch of paintbrushes she clutches in her hands and her palette are the symbols that allude to her role as the personification of the noble art of painting, together with the large canvas at her side.
The charming woman, wearing a dress whose play of transparencies allows a glimpse of her breasts, appears accomplished in her delicate femininity but at the same time solid and monumental.
Her gaze is lost, turned towards the observer, and her facial features are enhanced by the light that softly highlights her delicate complexion, giving her, together with the deep red drapery that encircles her body, an air of suspended and seductive charm.
Analysis of the canvas allows us to attribute it to the hand of Mattheus Terwesten (The Hague 1670 - 1757), a painter of Flemish origin but who, thanks to his travels in Italy, between Rome (1675 - 1677) and Venice, developed the salient features of his painting by studying the works of Veronese and Tintoretto.
The composition is indebted to Venetian painting, both in terms of subject matter (Titian and Veronese repeatedly depicted female figures of an allegorical nature) and style.
His compositional clarity, imbued with lightness and grace, combined with his attention to light and the luminous chromatic elegance that invests the figure, are in fact elements that particularly characterise his early work, and which we find in our portrait.

Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Jacob Ferdinand Voet (Antwerp 1639 - Paris 1689) Atelier
Portrait of the Young Ortensia Mancini, Duchess of La Meilleraye (Rome 1646 - Chelsea 1699)
Oil on canvas
75 x 61 cm. - exquisite gilded and lacquered wooden double frame 105 x 91 cm.
The beautiful painting depicting the young and attractive Duchess Ortensia Mancini is part of the refined portraiture of Jacob Ferdinand Voet (Antwerp 1639 - Paris 1689). Of Flemish origin, the painter achieved great success with the aristocratic families of Rome - where he stayed from 1663 to 1679 - thanks to the famous series of portraits commissioned by Cardinal Flavio Chigi, depicting the most enchanting women of the time, and now housed in the Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia.
The paintings became so popular that the artist was repeatedly asked to reproduce replicas and similar versions of them: the 'cabinet des dames' was thus one of the Roman fashions of the 17th century, justifying the large number of female portraits attributable to his workshop that gravitated on the market.
Voet flaunted in his portraits a peculiar softness and grace in the rendering of the complexions, a subtle voluptuousness in the description of the lips, entrusted to small brushstrokes of red, a sense of calm fixity in the pose, all characteristics that are immediately reflected in the work under examination.
Our young effigy, Hortense Mancini...
