About the Item

Petrus KREMER Antwerp, 1801 - Antwerp, 1888 Oil on wood panel 72 x 56.5 cm (85 x 72 cm with frame) Not signed Old stamp on the verso Beautiful carved and gilded wooden frame of the 19th century Petrus Kremer is a Belgian painter born in 1801 in Antwerp. He is one of the painters who represented the history of the famous Flemish people, in particular its painters (Rubens, Snyders, Brouwer...). Our painting represents the painter Adriaen Brouwer (who can be recognized thanks to the portrait of the painter engraved by Schelte Adams Bolswert) in prison. He had been suspected of espionage by the Spanish (Spanish soldiers are represented on the left). A famous episode from the life of the Flemish painter represented as a genre scene. But represented in a picturesque style with beautiful colors and a dramatic light and with the composition set like a theater stage). The painting is not signed but is very characteristic of the production of Petrus Kremer. We can recognize the style and the colors of Pter Kremer, certain recurring motifs in the painting such as the pitcher placed at the bottom left and the easel and the palette on the right, which can be found in his other paintings with similar subject, the lives of Flemish painters.
