About the Item
Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt (Delft 1566 - 1641) circle
Portrait of a gentleman in dark suit with ruff, aged fifty-nine, 1624
Top right family crest, age of the sitter ‘59’, and the date ‘1624’
Oil on canvas
55 x 42
Framed 86 x 73 cm
Antique Flemish oil on canvas painting depicting a distinguished gentleman immortalised at the age of 59 - as indicated by the inscription - and dressed in the stately clothes of the time, namely a simple black suit, closed on the chest with a row of buttons and enriched with a striking, wide pleated white ruff defined as ‘mill-wheel’.
The realisation of the details and the realism with which it is painted are astonishing, with particular attention devoted to the gaze, which almost seems to converse with the spectator thanks to an almost hypnotic gaze that looks straight out of the painting.
This work can easily be attributed to an artist from the school of the famous Flemish portrait painter Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt (Delft 1566 - 1641), active in the early part of the 17th century (the work is dated 1624).
Consider that portraiture in Delft in the early 17th century was dominated by Herman van der Mast (c.1550-c.1610), Jacob I Willemsz Delff (c.1540-1601) and above all Michiel Jansz. van Mierevelt (1567-1641) who, after the death of the first two, took over almost all of the city's rich clientele.
He became the undisputed reference of this art, renowned for his extraordinary talent as a painter and his ability to transpose the psychological acuity of his models onto canvas.
Our author inherits his great mastery, capable of bringing the effigy to life, capturing its essence.
The composition of the painting is very interesting: the man is placed in a dark and austere background, highlighting his figure and clothes. Although extremely simple, the refinement in the treatment of the fabrics and the collar, highlighted by a luminous white, should be noted.
The austerity and imposing nature of the man contrasts sharply with the flower he holds in his hands, with an almost awkward gesture: a small pink carnation, which functions as an oxymoron and has the power to soften and tenderise such a severe figure.
In reality, the flower could be the bearer of a symbolic value, a very frequent iconographic attribute in the history of Renaissance art, used not only in devotional paintings for the clear Christological allusions but also cited in portraits to symbolise love and emotional bonding.
Good condition; the painting is framed in an elegant ebonised wooden frame, which further enhances the beauty and importance of the work.

Madonna Maria Sassoferrato Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Madonna with Sleeping Child
Follower of Giovan Battista Salvi known as 'il Sassoferrato' (1609 - 1685)
Roman painter 18th century
Oil on canvas
Measurements: canvas 64 x 50 cm, in frame 76 x 62 cm.
This delicate depiction of the Madonna in adoration of the Child exhibits all the human dimension and sweetness of the maternal atmosphere: Mary clasps the sleeping child to her in a tender embrace, which touches her cheek, enveloped and protected by the mantle and even a flap of the mother's veil.
The pictorial style and composition recall the ambit of Giovan Battista Salvi, the Sassoferrato, who distinguished himself expressly for this subject, with the Virgin immortalised in a humble and strongly earthly pose, depicted with simple white, red and blue colours and delicate plays of nuances on the faces and hands.
This iconographic prototype was so successful that it became the painting for countless works destined for devotion during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly appreciated for private commissions due to its marked gentleness and formal perfection, particularly of the faces.
Born in Marchigiano, Salvi developed his activity in Rome, following the dictates of the classicist sacred painting of the Bolognese school of Reni, Carracci and Domenichino, but succeeding in having an autonomous and therefore clearly distinguishable style.
In very good overall condition, there are some small scattered restorations and some unravelling of the painted surface. Framed in a beautiful gilded frame.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.
