About the Item

Joseph and his brothers. Oil on canvas. Dutch school, based on models by Andriaen Verdoel (Flesingen, circa 1620-1675). Some damages. Oil on canvas depicting a figurative scene in a palace interior, with two openings to the landscape through two arches, one of them with twisted columns. Above, a richly dressed male figure has his cloak held up by another, accompanied by other figures behind him. Below the steps, a series of figures appear kneeling in supplication. In the upper left corner, a painted curtain appears, like a trompe l'oeil. The painting depicts a scene from the Old Testament (Genesis). Joseph, one of Jacob's twelve sons, was sold by his brothers to Egypt as a slave and ended up in prison. By interpreting a prophetic dream from Pharaoh, he was freed and elevated to the rank of chaty. In times of famine, he saved the Egyptian people and brought his family into the country. He forgave his brothers and granted them the land of Goshen, where they would become the people of Israel. Adriaen Verdoel I was a Dutch painter who, according to some sources, studied with Rembrandt and according to others, with Leonaert Bramer and Gaspard de Witte. He is recorded in Haarlem in 1649 and was the teacher of Jan de Groot. He was known for his landscapes, genre scenes, biblical themes, and vanitas. His works are held by institutions such as the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille, etc. Compare the present work with the painting of the same subject held by the Museum of Fine Arts in Nîmes (France). · Size: 100x5x75,5 cms int: 85,5x61 cms International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.

The temptation of St Anthony. Oil on canvas. 17th c., after David Teniers II
By David Teniers the Younger
Located in Madrid, ES
Temptations of San Antonio Abad. Oil on canvas. 17th century, following the model of David Teniers II (Antwerp, 1610-Brussels, 1690). Oil on canvas showing a figurative scene located inside a cave. To the right, you can see a cross standing, supported; to the left, a hut; and in the center of the painting appears an elderly, bearded man, leaning on a table on which there is a ceramic jug and a skull, with an open book at the foot of it. The man looks towards a woman, who points to something outside, and appears accompanied by a large frog and a series of ghostly beings or monsters dressed in brightly colored cloth and clothing. San Antonio Abad or Antonio Magno (251-356) was a Christian monk, considered the founder of the eremitical movement. He was tempted numerous times by the devil while he was in the desert, becoming a subject frequently represented in art (as can be seen in this oil painting). He is represented in a black habit because the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of San Antonio (Hospitals) was placed under his patronage, being the color of the habits of the members of this order (the tau or Egyptian cross was also the symbol chosen by they). David Teniers II or El Joven was a prominent Flemish painter and engraver, son of David Teniers El Viejo or I and father of David Teniers III, much appreciated at the time for his scenes of villagers and common people, his paintings of monkey painters, etc. . He dealt with the theme of the Temptations of Saint Anthony...

Frans Franken III 16th Century Oil on Wood, Adoration of the Magi, Painting
By Frans Franken the Younger
Located in IT
Frans Franken III and aid, Adoration of the Magi Good condition The oil painting on wood, with a gold background, depicts an Adoration of the Magi. The Magi are dressed in sumptuous silk and brocade dresses; they wear precious hats and jewelery. The richness of their garments is in contrast with the humility of the Holy Family and of the other characters who, around curious, observe the scene. The hut is simple, made of wood and straw: above it shines the Comet, symbol of the divine event. In the distance, a group of wayfarers walk along a path that is lost on the horizon, blending into the gold of the bottom. The representation proposes a traditional iconography, in which the painter inserts some details that he lends himself to symbolic interpretations. Among these is the appearance of the Magi, who from the XIVth century differs iconographically: the wise astronomers represent the homage to Jesus of the then known parts of the world, namely Africa, Asia and Europe. To the right of the Magi, in the foreground, sits a monkey, considered a demonic creature and a symbol of lies and sin. It is depicted on the sidelines, as a defeat, next to a fragment of a classical column: ruin alludes to the end of paganism, of the old world that collapses with the advent of the new one, marked by the birth of Christ and liberation from the Original Sin. On the ruins he climbs the ivy, symbol of the immortality of the soul. The work is attributable to the workshop of the Flemish painter Frans Francken III...
