About the Item
18th century English painter
William Hogarth (London 1697 - 1764) School of
Hudibras Triomphante (from the poem by Samuel Butler)
Circa 1740, England
Oil on canvas (62 x 50 cm. - Framed 83 x 71 cm.)
The painting is a rare iconographic representation of a scene from the English satirical poem ‘Hudibras’, written by Samuel Butler between 1660 and 1680, and is a satire on Cromwell's supporters and the Presbyterian Church.
The poem, very popular in its time, tells the story of the exploits of Hudibras, a colonel in Cromwell's army, and his squire Ralpho, both of whom are involved in various comic misadventures that reveal their stupid, greedy and dishonest character.
The inspiration from Don Quixote is evident, but unlike the work of Miguel de Cervantes, Butler includes many more references to current characters and events.
Illustrated versions of the poem also became popular, such as the one published in London in 1726 with illustrations by William Hogarth, a painter famous for his narrative paintings and prints that skilfully satirised and highlighted the social and moral issues of his time.
Hogarth, who excelled in the creation of sequential narrative series, skilfully organising figures and symbolic elements to convey clear stories, created a series of twelve engravings illustrating the adventures of Hudibras.
Our painting is taken from one of these engravings, published in 1726, entitled ‘Hudibras Triomphante’: the protagonist, showing his determination, has arrested the violinist and is taking him to prison with his hands tied behind his back, while Ralpho attaches his violin to a stump. Thus exhibited, the censored violin will be seen as a lasting reminder of the musician's misdeeds.

Portrait of Charles II, King of Spain, as a child (1661 -1700)
Spain, c. 1670 Oil on canvas 68 x 49 cm. - In antique frame 96 x 75 cm.
The analysis of this portrait, and in particular the style with which its features have been outlined, brings us back to the great tradition of the 17th century Spanish school.
The portrait depicts the young King Charles II of Spain, dressed in typical Spanish fashion, the youngest and only son of Philip IV of Spain and his second wife Maria Anna of Austria, as well as the last of the Habsburg dynasty to rule Spain. which portrayed the young ruler in full length at the age of four (dated 1665), dressed in a black suit and cape, and a large feathered...

Male and female portrait, both in silk kimono, possibly textile dealers
By Christoffel Lubieniecki
Located in Amsterdam, NL
CHRISTOFFEL LUBIENIECKI (1659-1729)
Pair of portraits of a gentleman and a lady, both in silk kimono, before a country house (circa 1680)
Indistinctly signed “C.......” on a box under the man’s left hand
Oil on canvas, 79.5 x 67 cm each
Both sitters are portrayed wearing a silk “Japanese” coat. During the second half of the seventeenth the Japanese silk coat, an adapted Japanese kimono, became a real vogue in the Dutch elite. The exclusive Dutch trade contacts with Japan can explain the popularity of the kimono-style silk coats in the Netherlands. Everybody who could afford one, dressed in such a fashionable and comfortable coat and, like the present sitters, some proud owners had themselves portrayed in a “Japanese” coat often together with an oriental carpet to underline their standing and international connections. These portraits are the work of the Polish-born portraitist Christoffel Lubieniecki (also known as Lubienitski, Lubinitski or Lubiniecki)
Lubieniecki was first trained in Hamburg under Julian Stuhr and after 1675 in Amsterdam under Adriaen Backer and Gerard de Lairesse. He specialized in landscapes, generally of an Italianate character, and in portraits. The loving execution of these contented burghers, enjoying the garden vistas of their country house, places him alongside Amsterdam portraitists such as Constantijn Netscher and Michiel van Musscher...
