About the Item

Joos Van Cleve Follower. S. XVI Salvator Mundi Oil on wood Measures: 54 x 37 cm. Bibliography: -HAND, John Oliver, Joos Van Cleve: the Complete Paintings, Yale University Press, 2004. This interesting table shows Christ following the iconography of Salvator Mundi. Represented in half figure and frontal position, he dresses with the robe and the mantel (fireplace) and blesses with the right hand while with the left he carries the terrestrial orb topped with the cross, as sovereign of the world. The model has its roots in those devised by the painter Hans Memling (Seligenstadt, Germany, H. 1440-Bruges, 1494) who configured the type of half-figure on which this image goes back stylistically. The work presented here has an ancient attribution to Quentin Massys, one of the main Flemish painters of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, who developed most of his professional activity in Antwerp. However, this figure lacks the monumentality of Quentin Massys' figures or that of some artists of his most immediate circle such as Jan Massys. That is why we find it more appropriate, in the absence of further analysis and studies, to put it in relation to some homonymous models of the painter Joos Van Cleve (Cleve ?, H. 1485-Antwerp, 1540-1541) as those preserved in the Louvre Museum and the Dulwich Gallery or the works that a few years ago were auctioned at Christie's (Old Master & British Paintings Day Sale-4 December 2013 London - Lot 117) and Sotheby's (31 January 2013 New York - Lot 114). Joos van Cleve also Joos van der Beke, circa 1485-1540/1541 was a painter active in Antwerp around 1511-1540. He is known for combining traditional Dutch painting techniques with influences of more contemporary Renaissance painting styles. An active member and co-deacon of the Guild of Saint Luke of Antwerp, he is known mostly for his religious works and portraits of royalty. As a skilled technician, his art shows sensitivity to color and a unique solidarity of figures. He was one of the first to introduce broad landscapes in the backgrounds of his paintings, which would become a popular technique of 16th century northern Renaissance paintings. He was the father of Cornelis van Cleve (1520-1567) who also became a painter. Cornelis became mentally ill during a residence in England and was therefore referred to as 'Sotte Cleef’.
