17th Century Oil on Canvas Dutch Antique Painting Nobleman Portrait, 1670
About the Item
Dutch school of the second half of the 17th century. Great oil artwork on canvas depicting a portrait of a nobleman of excellent pictorial quality. Painting referable to the painter Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680), active in England from 1640, lacking authenticity. Antoon Van Dyck's successor as court painter, he was one of the most sought-after portraitists in London and throughout the kingdom. The quality with which the drapery of the dressing gown was created is noteworthy, embellished with meticulous details and chiaroscuro effects. The setting is particular as the gentleman with the wig is represented immersed in a romantic landscape. The wig trend began with Louis XIV who was struck by baldness at the age of 35. It thus became royal fashion as it did not have to hide a hair but be a real decorative element. In this way the Sun King transformed an impairment into a strength and so the wig became an indispensable element for the clothing of nobles throughout Europe. Antique frame with a strong visual impact, adapted to the painting, in carved, lacquered and gilded wood. Work that has undergone conservative restoration, relining, replacement of the frame and restoration of color in some places (see photo). Overall, the painting is in a good state of conservation. Sight size H 119 x W 98 cm.
