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...

"The Cavalier" - The Vatican Mosaic Series 19th Century
Located in Jacksonville, FL
The Vatican Mosaic Studio originally founded in 1576 to create and install
mosaics in the basilica was producing portable mosaics to meet demands of the
Grand Tourist trade by the nineteenth century (p.96). Portrayals of romantic
historical figures such as the cavalier in the present lot were a popular subject
matter, evocative of well-known literary characters described in novels by
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) and rendered in genre paintings like those by
Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891) and Enrico Tarenghi (1848-1938). Such paintings
would have served as visual sources for micromosaics (Gabriel, 2000, p.124).

Gathering in antique Ruins, a monogrammed painting by Jan van Haensbergen
By Jan Van Haensbergen
Located in PARIS, FR
Jan van Haensbergen was a painter of the Dutch Golden Age and a pupil of Cornelius van Poelenburgh (Utrecht 1594 - 1667). The painting we are presenting is inspired by Poelenburgh’s landscapes from his Italian sojourn. The dreamlike atmosphere of this Gathering in antique ruins appealed to us. Against a backdrop of antique ruins, three draped characters (perhaps bathers) are sitting in a circle, greeting a fourth character walking towards them.
Their tranquility contrasts with the bustle of the other characters in the background. They constitute a vivid illustration of otium, this leisure time that allows us to realize our full potential. With this Arcadian landscape, Jan van Haensbergen invites us in turn to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind, to take a break, to enjoy the present moment chatting with close friends…
1. Jan van Haensbergen, a landscape and portrait painter of the Dutch Golden Age
Jan van Haensbergen was born in 1642 in Gorinchem, a town in southern Holland to the east of Rotterdam. He was a pupil of Cornelius van Poelenburgh, and began by painting landscapes inspired by those of his master, in an Italianate style. Between 1668 and 1669, he was registered at the Guild of Saint Luke in Utrecht.
In 1669, he moved to The Hague, where he joined the Confrérie Pictura, an artist society founded in 1656. His portraits, which became his main activity as a painter after settling in The Hague, were strongly influenced by Caspar Netscher (Prague or Heidelberg 1639 - The Hague 1684), whom he met in The Hague and whose son Constantijn became his son-in-law by marrying his daughter Magdalena.
In addition to his work as an artist, Van Haensbergen was also an art dealer, probably helped by his appointment as Dean of the Confrérie Pictura, where he also teached.
2. Description of the artwork and related paintings
This painting seems to us to be a kind of allegory of otium, that quiet bliss promised by Epicurus. It might even evoke an Epicurean proverb: "It is better to lie on the naked ground and be at ease, than to have a golden carriage and a rich table and be worried" .
Three draped young people - two men and a woman in the background - are seated in a circle, greeting a fourth figure walking towards them, hair disheveled and body draped in a towel as if drying off after a bath, indicating the need for prior purification to fully enjoy this rest. Their nonchalance contrasts with the bustle of the various characters in the background.
The composition is punctuated by successive diagonals, and opens onto a landscape on the right, with a succession of mountainous planes. This painting is typical of the Italianate works produced by Van Haensbergen in the 1660s under the influence of Cornelis van Poelenburgh...

Private collection, the Netherlands
Note:
We are grateful to Mr Fred Meijer for his attribution to Ludolf de Jongh
Ludolf de Jongh was the son of a shoemaker. When his father moved to Rotterdam, the young Ludolf decided to learn art rather than shoemaking and became a pupil of Cornelis Saftleven. Later he studied under Anthony Palamedes in Delft and still later with Jan van Bijlert in Utrecht.
In 1635 he travelled to France with Francis Bacon. Seven years later, in 1642, he returned to the Netherlands when he heard that his mother had fallen ill. He set up a shop in Rotterdam, and his earliest signed paintings date from that year.
According to Houbraken, his travels had caused him to speak French so fluently, that his parents had to learn French in order to speak with him.
De Jongh’s work shows a strong influence from the Utrecht school of Caravaggio admirers, especially Jacob Duck...
