Govert Dircksz Camphuysen
Still Life with Oysters - The earliest known still life in Swedish art history

c. 1652–63

Acerca del artículo

This previously unpublished painting was first securely attributed to Govert Dircksz Camphuysen in 1944, following an examination at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm during which the artist’s signature was discovered. As this attribution was not known to Bengt Rapp, the painting is not included in his thorough survey of the artist’s life and work during his Swedish period (1652–63), published in Djur- och Stilleben i karolinskt måleri (1951, pp. 15–26). The work is of considerable art historical importance. Alongside another undated still life by Camphuysen, Still Life with Provisions and a Cat (formerly in the De Geer collection at Finspång Castle), it is considered the earliest known still life in Swedish art history (op. cit., p. 24). These works mark the beginning of still life painting in Sweden. Through them, Camphuysen introduced a new subject matter that would later be taken up by the Swedish-born painter Christian Thum (c. 1625–1686). Like many artists of his time, Camphuysen was drawn by reports of growing artistic patronage in Sweden and decided to seek opportunity in service of the emerging great power. In the spring of 1652, he left Amsterdam with his family and arrived in Skåne in the autumn. From 1653, he was active at the court of Dowager Queen Maria Eleonora in Nyköping (widow of Gustavus Adolphus and mother of Queen Christina). Records from her account books in 1654 reveal that Camphuysen undertook several journeys on her behalf, including to Arboga and Ulfsunda. In August that year, he returned from Ulfsunda in the dowager queen’s retinue (op. cit., pp. 17–18). That same year, he also executed a large painting, Cows and Peasants (2 x 2 m), now at Övedskloster in Skåne. Following the dowager queen’s death on March 28, 1655, Camphuysen moved to Stockholm. His name appears regularly in the baptismal records of the German Church there until 1661. According to Old Granberg (Konsthistoriska studier och anteckningar, 1895, p. 46), Camphuysen also served as court painter to King Charles X Gustav after Queen Christina’s abdication. It was during this period that he produced what is perhaps his most famous work, The Royal Castle of Tre Kronor, dated 1661—an iconic topographical view of seventeenth-century Stockholm (Stockholm City Museum). In his final years in Sweden, Camphuysen was employed by Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie at Jacobsdal (now Ulriksdal Palace). Castle records show that he was working on decorative commissions in the great hall there in 1662–63 (Rapp, op. cit., p. 25). He returned to Amsterdam in 1665. The present painting was formerly part of the collection at Ekhof, an estate with roots in the 16th century. In 1566, Sigvard Månsson Kruse af Elghammar (1578–1624) purchased one of the two tax farms in the village, converting it into a noble estate. His son, General Erik Kruse af Kajbala (1616–1665), was granted tax exemption in 1653 and built a manor originally named Ånhammar. The estate was inherited by his son, Carl Gustaf af Kruse (1651–1732), and remained in the family until 1720. During her husband’s captivity in Russia following the Battle of Poltava, Charlotta Catharina, Carl Kruse’s wife, sold the property. It was then acquired by the widow Belau (or Below), and the estate became known as Ekhammarshof and later Ekhof. It subsequently passed to her son-in-law, Gudmund Adelberth. Her granddaughter, Hedvig Charlotta von Fuhrman, married Ture Johan Bielke in 1768. He had the current main building erected around 1790; it was completed in 1792. Involved in the conspiracy to assassinate King Gustav III, Bielke took his own life by poison to avoid prosecution. His widow remained on the estate until 1795. Later owners include von Baumgarten (1799), Wachtmeister (1816), Edlund (1825), Lönnerberg (1849), and Aspelin (1856). From 1926, the estate belonged to the Björling family, and in 1978 it was acquired by Johan and Lena Rinman. Today, the estate operates under Ekhov Säteri AB. signed “G.
