About the Item

One of a kind oil on panel "Woman with a letter inside", made in the 17th century by the Eglon van der Neer Atelier. Exceptional piece that has an original frame of the period, very characteristic of the Dutch school, made of lupia wood or root wood. Young woman with a letter and two servants in a distinguished interior, carried out by Egon van der Neer and his workshop, around the year 1673. The work is an oil on panel and, in terms of subject matter, responds to the characteristics characteristic of the author, following the traits of genre painting set within an interior space, and where detail (in clothing, faces, lighting and color distribution) is a fundamental element. Detailing is not only an aspect that characterizes van der Neer's painting, but rather, it was the essential link that united all Dutch artists, both during this time and in previous periods. In other words, both the gender theme, mainly set in interior rooms, and the observation of reality through rigorous realism (increased by the detailed representation of each and every one of the elements participating in the scene), were constant. typical of the tradition of this European art. Eglon van der Neer Van der Neer was a Dutch painter mainly of historical scenes and elegantly made portraits. He was also a landscape painter during his later painting career, going on to achieve considerable success among his contemporaries. He was born in Amsterdam and quite possibly learned the art of painting from his father, a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter, Aert van der Neer. We know that he took lessons from Jacob van Loo, a Dutch Baroque painter specializing in genre scenes, portraits, and even mythological-themed painting. At that time, his teacher was one of the leading figure painters in Amsterdam. About the year 1654, when van der Neer had just finished his education with Van Loo, he traveled to Orange. In the south of France, he entered the service of Friedrich von Dohna, the governor of the Principality of Orange. There he remained for three or four years, returning to Amsterdam at the end of 1658. After marrying Maria Wagensvelt, he went on to settle in Rotterdam. There he would open his own workshop, where he had Adriaen van der Werff as a student. With the death of his wife, he moved to The Hague and, in 1680, became a member of the Confrerie Pictura. Only a year later, at his next residence (Brussels), he would marry the miniature painter Marie Duchatel for the second time. In Brussels, Van der Neer struck up a close friendship with the Spanish Governor of the Netherlands, the Marquis de Gastanaga. Likewise, his contacts with the high nobility led to his appointment, in the year 1687, as court painter to King Carlos II of Spain. He also obtained, from 1695, commissions from John William of the Palatinate. Later, Johann Wilhelm offered Van der Neer a position at court as head of the chamber painters. he then settled in the town of Düsseldorf, where he remained until his last days. Legacy During his stay in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Van der Neer focused primarily on interior scenes or portraits of the nobility, albeit in an impressive variety of styles. The interior scenes of it show the influence of artists such as Pieter de Hooch, Gerard ter Borch, Gabriël Metsu and Frans van Mieris the Elder. Although he also painted mythological characters and some biblical scenes. The earliest examples are very similar to his genre scenes and show figures within contemporary interiors. Later, in Brussels and in Düsseldorf, Van der Neer will carry out scenes in the open air, either against a background of landscapes or buildings. In the case of these paintings, he followed the example of Adam Elsheimer. His landscapes, devoid of figures or literary sources, show other stylistic influences, such as Jan Brueghel the Elder or Jacques d'Arthois. The vast majority of Van der Neer's paintings are small in size and his style is very detailed, characteristic of the Dutch school. However, his talent as an artist did not prevent him from working on a large scale. Among his students, the painter Van der Werff stands out, who came to be considered by his contemporaries as the greatest Dutch painter of his time. He began working in Rotterdam on religious or mythological scenes and portraits. But shortly after, his fame led him to be named court painter for Elector Palatine Juan Guillermo. However, he would later be accused of breaking with the 19th century Dutch naturalist tradition. Measurements without frame 53 cm x 74 cm
