About the Item

A Flemish late 17th, early 18th century oil on canvas architectural painting attributed to Jacobus Ferdinandus Saey (1658–1725) set inside a carved giltwood frame from the 1700s. Painted by Flanders-born artist Jacobus Ferdinandus Saey (also known as Jacob Ferdinand Saeys), this horizontal format painting features an architectural scene born out of the imagination of its creator. Our eye is immediately drawn to the right portion of the composition that is basking in a soft golden light. The blue sky with its fluffy clouds, seen through the arches, allows the architecture to stand out beautifully. A few characters, engaged in their daily tasks, are present. A man dressed in a red overcoat and accompanied with an athletic dog is drawing us in. He is standing on the edge of a checkered floor, typical of Saey. Our eye then wanders around, meeting merchants, bystanders or aristocrats. Two worlds are being contrasted: the working class and the leisurely pleasures of the higher levels of society, in a nutshell, a depiction of the world of the time. The gondola, along with the ‘Serlienne’, signature of Palladio’s architectures, evokes Venice, keeping in mind that Saey specialized in imaginary architectures. Set within a giltwood frame, this painting has a partial signature. With its exquisite facture, and lovely color palette, this Flemish painting circa 1700 depicting an Italian architectural scene, will enliven any space beautifully. Without its frame, the painting measures 18.75" x 23.75".
