About the Item

Attr. Jacobus or Iacomo Victor (Amsterdam c. 1640 - 1705) Still life with birds Oil on canvas, 112 x 133 cm The still life examined here is a rare example of the simultaneous presence of live and dead animals in a single composition. Different bird species are neatly arranged on two rocky planes, reproduced as faithfully and closely as possible. One can recognize, mallards, pigeons, sparrows and a partridge perched on their backs. The soft coats of different color tones, with characteristic streaks and spots of color, together with the precise investigation of the various bird types, denote an observation of the real datum typical of the seventeenth-century Flemish tradition. Another mallard, this time alive, seems to have just perched on the rock, almost observing by moving its neck the rich composition. Its characteristic colors, the shining green of the head and upper neck, the yellow of the beak, and the orange of the legs, characterize the painting and capture the viewer's attention. Splendid flight, seen from above, of the pigeon in the foreground, the virtuosic pose and the brightness of its feathers, in an elegant modulation of grays tending toward white, denote the stylistic quality of this work. It was probably made by a Flemish artist working in Italy in the second half of the seventeenth century: close similarities can be seen with Jacobus Victor's cacciagioni. The author of the painting manifests a smooth, light-soaked touch, the soft and delicate color choices jousted in tones of whites, grays and browns, as in the figure of the pigeon with outstretched wings, with the intense whites of its plumage, conspicuously detach the figures depicted from the background. Precise and refined color selections distinguish and qualify the painter through an intensity of light that imbues and invigorates his subjects, pigeons in particular, favorite creatures or at least favorite actors in his scenes. We find them, for example, in the specimens in the Pinacoteca di Cremona, one of which, with Three Pigeons on a Plane, fully reveals the soft painterly vividness and effective luminosity that floods every detail with gray and bluish tones, cold but delicate, announcing our encounter with the atmosphere of his land.

17th Century Still Life with Birds Painting Oil on Canvas by Victors
By Jacobus Victors
Located in Milan, IT
Attr. Jacobus or Iacomo Victors (Amsterdam c. 1640 - 1705) Still life with birds Oil on canvas, 112 x 133 cm The still life examined here is a rare example of the simultaneous presence of live and dead animals in a single composition. On two rocky levels different ornithological species are neatly arranged, reproduced with the utmost fidelity and adherence to life. Mallards, doves, sparrows and a partridge placed on their backs can be recognized. The soft mantles with different chromatic tones, with the characteristic streaks and spots of color, together with the precise investigation of the various ornithological typologies, denote an observation of the real datum typical of the seventeenth-century Flemish tradition. Another mallard, this time alive, seems to have just settled on the rock, as if to observe the rich composition moving its neck. Its characteristic colors, the bright green of the head and the upper part of the neck, the yellow of the beak and the orange of the legs characterize the painting and capture the viewer's attention. The flight of the dove in the foreground is splendid, seen from above, the virtuosic pose and the brightness of its feathers, in an elegant modulation of grays tending to white, denote the stylistic quality of this work. It was probably created by a Flemish artist working in Italy in the second half of the seventeenth century: close analogies can be found with the game of Jacobus Victor...
