Allegory of Summer, workshop of Hendrick Van Balen 17th c. Antwerp school
By Hendrick van Balen
Located in PARIS, FR
Allegory of summer, personified by Ceres
Workshop of Hendrick Van Balen
Antwerp School, early 17th century.
Oil on copper,
Dimensions: h. 52 cm, l. 40cm
Antic giltwood frame
Framed dimensions: h. 74 cm, l. 60cm
Very good condition
Our delicately painted work is part of the pictorial tradition that is both allegorical and mythological in vogue in Antwerp, whose leaders are Jan Brueghel the Younger and Hendrick Van Balen. Numerous works emerging from their workshops illustrate mythological subjects, the seasons, the elements, the senses or intertwining the lush landscapes, animals and gods of Olympus.
At the heart of a green landscape dominated in its center by a generous apple tree, the beautiful Ceres, partially dressed in a large blue drape, is wearing a crown of ears of wheat, her symbol of the goddess of the earth and harvests. She holds the sickle in her right hand and carries sheaves of wheat. To her right a nymph holds the cornucopia while puttis pick and offer flowers.
In the foreground are the summer fruits: figs, cherries, apples and lemons. A squirrel munching on cherries symbolizes toil and foresight, themes that are echoed in the work of the harvesters on the wheat fields in the background.
The background is composed of vegetation, on the right a wild rose bush with its branches erect against a tree trunk, in the center of the trees with silvery green foliage.
Our painter, a student of Hendrick Van Balen, finds his inspiration in the works of the master such as this nymph in yellow drapery seen from behind, one of the figures which accompanies many of the master's paintings. The elegant gestures, the flesh...The indisputable influence of Jan Brueghel the Younger is revealed in the treatment of trees and flowers, wild roses, tulips as well as in the still life with the squirrel in the foreground.
The craze for this type of virtuoso painting where the mythological figures are only a pretext to better illustrate the landscape and plant species surrounding them, then generated orders from all over Europe.
Hendrick Van Balen, Flemish painter, born and died in Antwerp (1575-1632). A student of Adam Van Noort, he entered the guild of Saint-Luc in 1593, later trained in Italy and was Van Dyck's first master. He often painted small characters taken from scenes from the Bible or classical mythology, on paintings in which Josse de Momper...

Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert, Dancing Putti, Pan, Satyr, Rubens School, Model
By Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert
Located in Greven, DE
Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert
Pan plays to the dance of the putti
Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert (1614 Bergen op Zoom - 1654 Antwerp)
Pan plays to the dance of the putti
Oil sketch
Oil on canvas, 35 x 51 cm
Provenance:
Belgian private collection, ca. 1980 to 2020.
The oil sketch shows a flute-playing man with dark curls sitting at the left edge
of the picture in a recess draped with cloth. In the lower left corner, a fallen
bowl with leaking water can be seen. The right half of the picture shows a circle
of five dancing putti, whereby the left putti can be recognized as a satyr due to
the goat legs. The background is dominated by a dark mountain landscape. In
the sky a rising or setting sun can be guessed. It is possible that the flute player
represents Bacchus, the god of wine and ecstasy. This fits with the flute as a
symbol of celebration, as well as the bowl of water, which could refer to
Bacchus' mother, Lethe. Lethe is a river in the underworld, which at the same
time symbolizes "oblivion". Thus, the spilling water bowl is not only a reference
to this river, but it also symbolizes "oblivion". Moreover, Bacchus is usually
depicted with satyrs in his retinue, which would explain the putto with goat legs.
However, the interpretation of the flute player as the god Pan would be
possible. He is usually shown with his flute and associated with dance.
Moreover, he is native to the mountainous landscape of Arcadia.
The present work is an oil sketch, i.e. a preparatory study. This is suggested by
the partly unfinished parts, as well as the structure of the picture. Some parts
are already almost completely laid out, such as the flute player, while others, for
example the horizon and also the figures of the putti, are only sketched in
outline.
The painting can be attributed to the Baroque painter Thomas Willeboirts
Bosschaert. This attribution was also confirmed by Prof. Hans Vlieghe.
Bosschaert lived and worked in Antwerp with Peter Paul Rubens and Anthonis
van Dyck, among others. He studied with Gerard Seghers...

Johannes JANSON (Attributed to) Amboyna (Moluccan Islands), 1729 - Leyden, 1784 Oil on canvas 47 x 57 cm (62 x 72 cm with frame) Trace of signature lower right Monogrammed and dated on the back "1755"Inscription on the recto « Johannes Janson »
Very beautiful frame of the 18th century in gilded wood
Good condition (just a bit of thinness, a repair and a few repaints, well restored)
As for the painting by Johannes Janson exhibited in the Louvre museum, our painting is also a "typical example of retrospective pastiche - much appreciated in the 18th century. – of recognized masters of the Golden Age, the specialists in Dutch rustic landscape Potter, Adriaen van de Velde or Dujardin. Recognizable in our painting is the way Janson represents trees, and animals (the horse in particular on the left is recognizable). And also the silhouettes of his small characters painted in bright colors. This village fair is a rich composition with many characters, musicians, drummers, peasant men and women, children. The scene is very cheerful and it has the charm of the festive atmosphere of the Dutch countryside with many picturesque details represented such as the dancers with a glass or a pitcher in their hands, the dishes or baskets which circulate filled with food, the child playing with a dog or the musician with the violin who animates the assembly. The vivid colors are characteristic of Dutch 17th century genre...

Rococo painting with frame by 18th-century Venetian school oil on canvas
Located in Florence, IT
The painting (with a Salvador Rosa-style gilded frame 88 x 116 cm) depicts a group of four children who are playing outside on a swinging seesaw; we are probably dealing with a prank, as can be seen by the satisfied expression of the child on the right at the expense of the one in the foreground, who seems to be supported by the others, perhaps because of the fear felt.
They are dressed in the same way, with black or brown ankle boots and a kind of double-breasted jumpsuit with a rich lace collar reminiscent of the jabots of dames, blue for the one in the foreground, brick-colored for the other three.
Children also look alike in the hair, typical of the period, and features, suggesting a kinship relationship.

It could be argued that cave walls were the canvases for the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict and elevate natural scenery through art, but there is a richer history to consider.
The Netherlands was home to landscapes as a major theme in painting as early as the 1500s, and ink-on-silk paintings in China featured mountains and large bodies of water as far back as the third century. Greeks created vast wall paintings that depicted landscapes and grandiose garden scenes, while in the late 15th century and early 16th century, landscapes were increasingly the subject of watercolor works by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Fra Bartolomeo.
The popularity of religious paintings eventually declined altogether, and by the early 19th century, painters of classical landscapes took to painting out-of-doors (plein-air painting). Paintings of natural scenery were increasingly realistic but romanticized too. Into the 20th century, landscapes remained a major theme for many artists, and while the term “landscape painting” may call to mind images of lush, grassy fields and open seascapes, the genre is characterized by more variety, colors and diverse styles than you may think. Painters working in the photorealist style of landscape painting, for example, seek to create works so lifelike that you may confuse their paint for camera pixels. But if you’re shopping for art to outfit an important room, the work needs to be something with a bit of gravitas (and the right frame is important, too).
Adding a landscape painting to your home can introduce peace and serenity within the confines of your own space. (Some may think of it as an aspirational window of sorts rather than a canvas.) Abstract landscape paintings by the likes of Korean painter Seungyoon Choi or Georgia-based artist Katherine Sandoz, on the other hand, bring pops of color and movement into a room. These landscapes refuse to serve as a background. Elsewhere, Adam Straus’s technology-inspired paintings highlight how our extreme involvement with our devices has removed us from the glory of the world around us. Influenced by modern life and steeped in social commentary, Straus’s landscape paintings make us see our surroundings anew.
