About the Item
Publisher: Jacob & Abraham Hamer, “De Gecroonde Son” Amsterdam
Place / Date: Amsterdam, ca. 1660
Two original 17th c. pendant panels of 'verheven leer' or gilt embossed leather [the embossing executed w. the help of metal plates carrying the iamge], measuring 72 x 60 cm each, on which the motif of Atalantha (accompanied by a nymph) and Meleager hunting down the wild boar roaming the Caledonia forest. Meleager offers the boar's head to Atalanta, electing her Queen of the hunt. The embossed leather applied w. silver and double varnished [w. a sandarac varnish] in gold, resulting in a beautiful soft brown-golden hue. The 3 central figures, the birds, flowers, fruits and plants, grapes, hunting dogs, stags, huntsmen, and the boar, all painted after varnishing in a rich pallet of greens, yellows, and reds. The winding leaf ranks left and right w. the central portion in green and gilt leaf borders. 1 putto [Cupid w. bow and arrow?] at the top lefthand corner, two small heads of angels at the lower margin. The nymph accompanying Atalanta w. spear, Atalanta herself w. bow, 2 dogs at her feet. Her head was crowned w. a wreath with four blossoming flowers held by a dove, a token of awakening love. Half hidden in the flowering ranks, we see huntsmen, stags & hunting dogs.
Amsterdam, gilt leather manufacturers Jacob en Abraham ‘de Gecroonde Son’ Hamer; De Gecroonde Son / or ‘De Vergulde Roemer’, Pieter van Dam, Jacob van Ipen, Pieter Potter. Date appr. 1660 – 1680 [see Koldeweij]. These 2 smaller panels measure appr. 72 x 60 each, together 72 x 120 cm. In a modern metal and wooden frame, the frame itself covered w. brown leather corners are a little damaged. The two panels are mounted on the modern dark calf., parts of the mounted gilt leather w. small losses, a.o. at outer extremities.
These panels were preserved in 1985 after the restoration of a 3 screen divider for the Rijksmuseum by the renowned gilt leather restorer Hendrik van Soest, then working for the Centraal Laboratorium. 9 panels were used for this 3 screen divider, w. the same hunting scene, but in brighter colors and w. the leaf ranks’ central portion fully gilded and bright, obscuring the details. 1 partial panel in similar colors as the 2-panel one described here, showing 'Meleager' only was left [75 x 57 cm] and idem a small strip [leaf rank only, green central portion] meas. 77 x 28 cm. Now also in the Rijksmuseum. The remaining panels, with the complete hunting scene, here described, were restored and framed by H.A.B. van Soest for Max Israel. From his estate to auction. To present owner.
Very well preserved. Beautiful and fresh colors on dark fond, stunning details.
