About the Item
Large and beautiful etching, engraving by Nicolaes Lauwers after Jacob Jordaens.
Flanders, 17th century.
Representing Zeus and Hermes (Jupiter and Mercury) in the house of Philemon and Baucis.
Very nice dimensions. Beautiful framing.
The hospitality and generosity of Philemon and Baucis towards Jupiter and Mercury earned them divine recognition.
Thanks to the work of the burin combined with that of etching, Lauwers manages not only to restore the plastic qualities of the original work but also to render the velvety chiaroscuro and the sharpness of the faces.
Very nice shadow work.
This work is a copy of an original painting now lost. However, some similar compositions have survived.
The story of Mercury and Jupiter in the house of Philemon and Baucis is told in Ovid's Metamorphoses (VIII, 620-724) and is a story of rewarded piety. Mercury and Jupiter, disguised as men, seek refuge as strangers and only receive it from an old couple Philemon and Baucis. As Jupiter wants to reward them, they only ask to be guardians of his temple and, when the time comes, to die together.
Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678), Flemish painter, who was trained in Antwerp by Adam van Noort and began his career as a waterschilder (painter of watercolors on canvas or paper, which served as substitutes for tapestries) but quickly moved towards oil painting. he was a prolific and successful painter, draftsman and upholsterer and became Antwerp's leading painter after the deaths of Rubens (1640) and Van Dyck (1641). He received important commissions from private and public institutions such as the Royal Court of The Hague and the Clergy.
Nicolaes Lauwers (Antwerp, 1600-1652) was a Flemish engraver.
He is known for his engravings after Peter Paul Rubens, Gerard Seghers and Jacob Jordaens. This engraving of Jupiter and Mercury with Philemon and Baucis is one of his most famous engravings.
