About the Item

From the 16th to 19th C the production of decorative arts continued to flourish with the introduction of both rococo and baroque elements signaling an increasingly open attitude to all things European. The production of Orientalist paintings is rich in topographical landscapes of Istanbul, genre scenes, and portraits of Ottoman notables. Europe’s fascination with its powerful, Muslim neighbors inspired a wave of accounts and paintings of the Ottoman world. The taking of Constantinople in 1453 by the young Mehmet II ('The Conqueror’) not only sparked this interest, but the young Sultan himself, who invited European painters to his court, further fueled this fashion. The period following his reign saw relations between the Republic of Venice and its powerful neighbor reach a state of relative calm, initiating a period of exchange and trade. Du XVIᵉ au XIXᵉ siècle, la production des arts décoratifs continua de prospérer avec l’introduction d’éléments rococo et baroques, témoignant d’une attitude de plus en plus ouverte à l’égard de tout ce qui venait d’Europe. La production de peintures orientalistes est riche en paysages topographiques d’Istanbul, en scènes de genre et en portraits de notables ottomans. La fascination de l’Europe pour ses puissants voisins musulmans inspira une vague de récits et de peintures consacrés au monde ottoman. La prise de Constantinople en 1453 par le jeune Mehmet II (« le Conquérant ») ne fit pas seulement naître cet intérêt ; le jeune sultan, qui invita des peintres européens à sa cour, contribua encore à alimenter cette mode. La période qui suivit son règne vit les relations entre la République de Venise et son puissant voisin atteindre un état de relative accalmie, inaugurant une ère d’échanges et de commerce. Van de 16e tot de 19e eeuw bleef de productie van decoratieve kunst bloeien, met de introductie van zowel rococo- als barokelementen, wat getuigde van een steeds meer open houding tegenover alles wat Europees was. De productie van oriëntalistische schilderijen is rijk aan topografische landschappen van Istanbul, genrescènes en portretten van Ottomaanse notabelen. Europa’s fascinatie voor zijn machtige, islamitische buren inspireerde een golf van verslagen en schilderijen over de Ottomaanse wereld. De verovering van Constantinopel in 1453 door de jonge Mehmet II (“de Veroveraar”) wekte niet alleen deze belangstelling, maar de jonge sultan zelf, die Europese schilders aan zijn hof uitnodigde, voedde deze mode verder aan. De periode na zijn regeerperiode zag de betrekkingen tussen de Republiek Venetië en haar machtige buur tot een staat van relatieve rust komen, wat het begin markeerde van een tijdperk van uitwisseling en handel. Vom 16. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert blühte die Produktion der dekorativen Künste weiterhin auf, wobei sowohl Rokoko- als auch Barockelemente eingeführt wurden – ein Zeichen für eine zunehmend offene Haltung gegenüber allem Europäischen. Die Produktion orientalistisch geprägter Gemälde ist reich an topografischen Landschaften Istanbuls, Genrebildern und Porträts osmanischer Würdenträger. Europas Faszination für seine mächtigen muslimischen Nachbarn inspirierte eine Welle von Berichten und Gemälden über die osmanische Welt. Die Eroberung Konstantinopels im Jahr 1453 durch den jungen Mehmet II. („der Eroberer“) weckte nicht nur dieses Interesse, sondern der junge Sultan selbst, der europäische Maler an seinen Hof einlud, befeuerte diese Mode zusätzlich. Die Zeit nach seiner Herrschaft war von einem Zustand relativer Ruhe zwischen der Republik Venedig und ihrem mächtigen Nachbarn geprägt, was eine Periode des Austauschs und des Handels einleitete.

Located in brussel, BE
Willem Muys was a Dutch, 18th-century painter of history pieces, portraits and cabinet pieces. Above all, he appears to have been active as a painter of ‘wallpaper’. Until the mid-18th century, ‘wallpaper’ was not painted on paper but on coarsely woven linen. Wealthy citizens had their mansions or country estates adorned with ‘wallpaper’ with landscapes, exotic birds or chinoiseries. Willem Muys mainly painted ‘wallpaper’, which means that few of his works have been preserved. They are hardly represented in public collections. The works of his sons, Nicolaas en Robbert, both painters, are a little less rare. The painting with Rebecca and Eliezer...
