About the Item
Pair of large and opulent 17th century Flemish floral still lifes by the celebrated artist Gaspar Pieter Verbruggen I
Our paintings depict opulent floral arrangements consisting of, amongst others, roses, tulips and peonies.
Gaspar Peeter Verbruggen the Elder, born in Antwerp in 1635 and passing away in 1681, was a renowned Flemish artist specialized in floral paintings and garland compositions. Baptized in St. James' Church, his father's profession as a gardener likely fueled his passion for depicting flowers. He started as a pupil under Cornelis Mahu, eventually becoming a master of the Guild of Saint Luke. His first marriage to Catharina van Zeverdonck resulted in 11 children, and after her passing, he married Sara Catharina Raeps.
Verbruggen's success as an artist is evident from his estate's assets, including multiple houses and valuable possessions. He left a legacy through his pupils and collaborations, particularly in 'garland paintings', a style originating in Antwerp in the 17th century. These paintings typically featured flower or fruit garlands encircling religious or portrait elements, evolving to encompass various subjects like portraits, myths, and allegorical scenes. Our paintings are prime examples of this.
His works can be found in several museums and distinguished private collections.

- Large 17th century religious family painting - Mary with Christ and AnnaLocated in Antwerp, BE17th century Old Master painting depicting the Infant Christ with Mary and St. Anne attributed to Nicolas de Liemaker The artist of the present work wonderfully captured the loving gaze of Maria, looking in awe at her child. One can sense the tenderness and love in her eyes. The eyes of Christ appears to be filled with wisdom and love and a finely painted aura crowns his and his mother's heads. St. Anne, Mary's mother, gently holds the infant whilst gazing adoringly at him. The painting is not only a beautiful depiction of Christ and his mother and grandmother, but also a sweet image of the tender bond between a mother's and their children. The vibrant and soft colours of the fabric create a soft cocoon around the figures and seem to further emphasis the beauty and importance of the depicted scenery and its protagonists. Nicolaas de Liemaecker (also spelled as Liemaker or Liemackere) was a Flemish painter born in Ghent in 1601. He was also known under the name Nicolaas Roose. His father was Jacobus de Liemaecker, a painter upon glass. Nicolaas is reported to have been trained by his father and Gaspard de Crayer II (1), an apprenticeship with Otto Van Veen has also been suggested. In 1624 he worked at the Court of the Bishop of Paderborn and for Ferdinand of Bavaria. He later returned to his native city, where he focused on religious and historical paintings. He was a very accomplished and celebrated artist who attained a high rank in his profession. He witnessed the baptisms of Pieter and Janne-Marie Van Hulle...Category
