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. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is sold complete with a tasteful frame and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic card. We organise and take care of the shipment of the purchased works, both in Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.

Knight Van Douw Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17/18th Century Flemish Art Italy
By Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
After Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677) The stop of a traveler on horseback near a post station Oil painting on canvas 45 x 55 cm In frame cm. 55 x 65 In this pleasant painting, depicting a knight parked near a post station, the Flemish tradition is based on a strong Italianizing sensitivity, especially by observing the setting and its peculiar brightness. The mixture of genres and the particular style of execution make it easy to trace the authorship back to a Nordic author but active in Rome, or strongly influenced by the style in vogue in the Eternal city, between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: we are referring, in in particular, to a follower of the Antwerp Simon Johannes van Douw. The chromatic elegance and refinement with which he outlines the figures are typical aspects of his painting. The scene takes place outside a cottage, probably a post office for travelers, where a modest family divides the tasks by assisting the knights. We see a young boy who hands water to the horse before he sets off again, the father is preparing to feed him with straw and the mother who instead takes care of the little son. The Italian reminiscences, evident in our painting, have been absorbed by many Northern European authors such as Nicolaes Berchem, Philips Wouwerman or Johannes Lingelbach, all inspired by the leader Pieter van Laer...
