About the Item

FLEMISH SCHOOL 18th century "Resting on the Bluff" - a Pair Circle of Pieter van Bloemen (Flemish, 1657-1720) unsigned later engraved attribution plaque on each frame executed in oil on canvas Item # 911TRM16W A vibrant and complex pair of Italianate landscape scenes of travelers resting on a bluff overlooking the valley and cities beyond, they are a powerful presentation with exquisitely painted animals. Notable influences of anthropomorphic Romanticism in the features of the horses lend a certain humor and lightheartedness to the scenes; in one a cheery rider arrives on a donkey and engages a resting woman and her child, presumably while her husband reattaches the cart to the resting horses. In the other a rider chats with a man and his wife while they rest their horses. An old engraved brass plaque on the front of the frame attributes the paintings to Pieter van Bloemen, who together with his brother Jan Frans frequently left their paintings unsigned. Our gallery only has this pair attributed to the circle of van Bloemen. PIETER VAN BLOEMEN Pieter van Bloemen was born in Antwerp on Jan 17 of 1657. He was also known also known as Standaart and his first name is sometimes spelled Peeter or Peter. Beginning around the age of 10, Pieter studied under Simon Johannes van Douw, a well-known painter of battle scenes. Some references also note him as being a pupil of landscape painter Willem Romeijn (Haarlem, 1624-94). By the age of 17 he was the Master of the Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp. His work always centered around dramatic landscapes, often incorporating large collections of animals in scenes of war, robbery, market life and genre depictions of villagers. These often have an Italianate influence and much of his work included a white horse in the composition. He traveled extensively, including spending time in Lyon in 1684 with Dutch artists Gillis Weenix and Adriaen van Der Cabel. In 1688 Pieter traveled to Rome with his brother Jan Frans and returned in 1690 with their younger brother Norbert. Both of his brothers were accomplished painters. The brothers made trips to Naples, Malta and Sicily and some works are a collaboration between Pieter and Jan Frans. Because of Pieter's skill in painting animals, horses in particular, he was often invited to collaborate on works with local artists. One notable example is the battle scene he painted for the Duke of Marlborough during his visit of Antwerp, a portrait depiction of the Battle of Ramillies of 1706 that he completed in collaboration with Balthasar van den Bossche. The nickname "Standaart" comes from Pieter's association with a group of Dutch and Flemish artists in Rome called Schildersbent. It was practice of the association to give one another a "bent name" and this almost undoubtedly refers to the banners and standards so often depicted in his scenes of military conflict.   Eventually the brothers separated with Norbert leaving for Amsterdam in the 1720s, Jan Frans living the rest of his life in Rome and Pieter returning to Antwerp in 1694. He became the dean of the Guild of Saint Luke of Antwerp in 1699 and lived out the rest of his life there until his death March 6th of 1720. Artist Listings Further Reading: E.

Large 18th Century Dutch Oil on Canvas Painting of a Southern Landscape, 56x67

Located in Dallas, TX

Measuring 56 H x 67 W, this large Dutch oil on canvas painting from the 1700s depicts a Southern landscape of a glen beneath a rocky cliff. The expansive valley stretches far into the distance, before terminating at a lake in front of a mountain. Numerous flocks of sheep can be seen throughout the basin, including a group high up on the towering cliff with green trees dotting the sand-colored rock. Most of the flocks in the distance are being tended to by shepherds, but interestingly, a group of four men has gathered in the foreground to engage in leisurely activities as their sheep, cows, goat, and dog await nearby. A few chateaus can be seen in the distance, but most of the architecture is in the style of a capriccio, in that they are dilapidated. The top of a stone obelisk is missing and there are some losses to the inscribed pedestal next to it that supports a lidded urn. Large pieces of broken rock are scattered about, with one slab being used as a seat/table for two shepherds playing cards. Several birds fly in the blue sky, with the setting sun giving the clouds hues of gray, orange, and pink. The peaceful scene is surrounded by a brown wood frame with a thin undulating gilt border that edges the canvas. Our large Dutch painting...
