Jan Frans van Bloemen (Orizzonte) Art

Flemish, 1662-1749
Jan Frans van Bloemen (baptized 12 May 1662 - buried 13 June 1749) was a Flemish landscape painter mainly active in Rome. Here he was able to establish himself as the leading painter of views (vedute) of the Roman countryside depicted in the aesthetic of the classical landscape tradition. Van Bloemen predominantly painted classical landscapes, taking his inspiration from the Roman Campagna. His landscapes, with their recession through a series of planes, soft, warm lightning and classical and religious subject matter, drew on the examples of artists such as Claude Lorrain and Gaspard Dughet. His paintings are exquisitely imbued with that "difficult-to-define pastoral ambience" which helped to make him such a great painter in the eyes of his contemporaries. The technique and subjects of the work of Jan Frans van Bloemen are also related to painters such as Jan Asselijn, Thomas Wyck, Willem Romeyn and Willem Schellinks. His painted vedute fall into the category of the vedute that combine reality with imaginary elements. His landscapes have an Arcadian lushness, with mountains, streams, distant hamlets, and small inhabitants painted with imprecise pittura di tocco ('painting of touch') using small dotting and spirited brush-strokes. Unlike van Wittel, van Bloemen did not generally depict views of areas distant from Rome such as the Tiber valley or the Alban hills. His subjects were limited to views in the immediate vicinity of Rome, an outline of which was typically visible in his compositions. Van Bloemen was in particular known for his 'estate views' representing the estates of the nobility in the Roman Campagna. His views aim to associate the modern estate view with the classical arcadian landscape. Rather than offering the wide panoramic views, distant horizon and atmospheric effects associated with topographical landscapes, van Bloemen's estate views emphasize minute observation of reality and a limited viewpoint. The estates are thus made to appear as immutable features of the local landscape. He worked together with other painters who painted the figures in his landscapes such as Carlo Maratti, Placido Costanzi and Pompeo Batoni. However, he only relied on such collaboration with figure painters in the last decades of his life when he produced his most ambitious classicising compositions. Even then he only relied on these figure specialists for the most prominent figures in the foreground while he took care of the minor characters. In fact, van Bloemen was an accomplished staffage painter and he was very skilled at quickly learning to imitate the style of his collaborators. As a result, many of the figures in his paintings that are attributed to prestigious contemporaries were actually by his own hand. His landscape drawings, which often depict imaginary ruins, have been confused with those of his brother Pieter, who is better known for his drawings of figures and animals. Jan Frans van Bloemen also made pen drawings of buildings in and around Rome.

Located in Stockholm, SE

Adam Horn af Ekebyholm (1717–1778) Sweden Vue des environs de Caudebec en Normandie (View of the Environs of Caudebec in Normandy), 1770 signed and dated on the reverse Ad. Horn pinxit 1770 oil on canvas unframed 45 × 56 cm (17.7 × 22 in) framed 59 × 69 cm (23.2 × 27.2 in) in its original period gilt frame accompanied by an engraving after Jacob Philipp Hackert Provenance: Stockholms Auktionsverk, Stockholm, Fine Art & Antiques Autumn 2022, 7 December 2022, lot 630; A private collection Stockholm. Essay: Painted in 1770, this view of the environs of Caudebec presents the banks of the Seine as a setting for everyday activity within a carefully ordered landscape. A castle rises above the rocky cliffs at the left, while a weathered tree anchors the right foreground. Between them, boats lead the eye towards distant hills and a luminous horizon. Four figures gather beside baskets at the water’s edge, their red, blue and white clothing bringing concentrated accents of colour to the earth and vegetation. Above, broad clouds pass across an expansive blue sky, giving the scene much of its spaciousness and atmospheric movement. The composition follows Première vue des environs de Caudebec en Normandie, engraved by Yves-Marie Le Gouaz under the direction of Jacques Aliamet after Jacob Philipp Hackert. The Bibliothèque nationale de France catalogues the engraving with a publication date of 1769, suggesting that Horn’s painting followed its appearance within approximately a year. A closely corresponding painting by Hackert, signed and dated 1767 and sold at Lempertz in 2019, shows the arrangement in reverse. Horn follows the orientation of the engraving, with the tree at the right and the castle at the left. This reversal provides strong visual evidence for the print’s role as intermediary. The relatively taller proportions of his canvas and his choices of colour for the figures’ clothing give the painted version a distinct character. The accompanying impression preserves the dedication to Count Creutz, Sweden’s representative at the French court, together with his coat of arms. This detail gives the French landscape a specific Swedish connection. Hackert himself had visited Stockholm in 1764 and worked for the royal court before moving to France. These associations place Horn’s choice of model within a wider exchange of landscape imagery between France and Sweden. A count, military officer and councillor of state, Horn combined painting with a prominent role in Swedish public life. In May 1772, two years after completing this landscape, he placed the crown upon Gustav III’s head together with Archbishop Beronius, a ceremony subsequently represented in Carl Gustav Pilo’s monumental coronation painting...
