Description

Bouman, Johan (attr.) Straßburg um 1601 - Amsterdam (nach/after) 1635 59 x 84 cm Still life of fruits in a Delftware dish on a pedestal with a parrot. Oil/panel. A still life in the style of the Bosschaert School, which is extremely characteristic of Bouman's work and also shows influences from Balthasar van der Ast, his later works are more reminiscent of Jan van de Velde III. Cf. the quasi mirror-imaged painting in the Flehite Museum, Amersfoort (inv. no. 1905-002, registered in the database of the RKD, The Hague, as no. 7567), which, despite its slightly different dimensions, could possibly have been conceived as a counterpart to the present painting. Bavarian private collection.

Jacob de Heusch, Italian River Landscape Colourful, summery hustle and bustle on the river with a fishing boat moored, in front of an imposing mountain landscape with partly ruinous architecture, in the light of the late summer sun, the exquisitely composed romantic landscape transports the viewer of the painting into a tranquil world of contemplation and sublime grace and still today evokes a longing for Arcadian southern climes, Heusch's stay in Italy was of formative importance for the artist, as it suited his carefree nature very well, as Houbraken reported in 1719 "... He was a versatile young man, brilliant, not lacking in understanding, he spoke well, was bold and witty in his answers, always cheerful in character and popular in every society. ... After practising art in Venice and Rome for several consecutive years and spending many cheerful evenings with the Bentvogels, he returned to Utrecht ...", the same carefree cheerfulness can also be seen in the present painting, which was probably created after his time in Rome as a reminiscence; Heusch drew on his wealth of Italian motifs until the end of his life, as Nagler notes (1838): "... He came to Rome early on, where the Schilderbent gave him the nickname "Affdruck" (Contre Épreuve), because his works perfectly resemble those of Wilhelm de Heusch. Only Jacob is even more perfect, both in the drawing and in the truth of the depiction. His colouring is vivid, and his figures, animals, etc. reveal a witty artist. He painted many pictures in Rome and Venice, and after his return he still painted mostly for Italian lovers. ...", his paintings found their way into important art collections, so there is a great similarity to the painting of almost the same size in the St. Petersburg Hermitage by Heusch. Petersburg Hermitage by Heusch, "Italian Harbour", from 1697, which mirrors the present motif and shows a morning river landscape as a counterpart, finely glazed landscape and genre painting in finely coordinated colours, oil on canvas, signed and dated "JdHeusch f. 1696", older printed label "Jacob de Heusch ..." verso on stretcher, minor craquelure, relined, old retouching, in need of minor restoration, framed in a beautiful Wilhelminian-style gilt stucco frame, rebate dimensions approx. 53 x 72 cm. Artist information: also Jakob de Heusch resp. de Heus, called Giacomo de Heusch in Italy, Dutch genre and landscape painter, draughtsman and etcher (1656 Utrecht to 1701 Amsterdam), pupil and faithful imitator of his uncle, the landscape painter and etcher Willem de Heusch (1625-1692), like the latter, Heusch was a follower of the art of Jan Both and an "Arcadian", travelling to Rome in 1675 and becoming a member of the Dutch artists' society "Bentvueghels" [Bentvueghels] there under the nickname "Afdruk", "Afdruck" or "Affdruck".Gleich und gleich gesellt sich gern]" also known as "Schildersbent [Engl.: Painters' Clique]", with whose members he also painted in Venice, influenced in Italy by Salvator Rosa and collaboration with Pieter van Bloemen, registered in Rome until 1692, later returned to Utrecht and probably in 1698, through the mediation of his Bentvueghel friend Johan Teyler, Appointed to the court in Berlin, where he only stayed for a short time, then freelanced in Utrecht, represented in collections in Vienna, Helsingborg, Brunswick, Venice, Rouen, Meiningen, London, Mainz, Stuttgart, Frankfurt/Main and St. Petersburg. Petersburg, active in Utrecht, died on a trip to his Amsterdam Bentvueghel friends Albert van Spiers and Jan van der Keere as a result of an accident in Amsterdam, source: Thieme-Becker, Saur "Bio-Bibliographisches Künstlerlexikon", Wurzbach, Müller-Singer, Müller-Klunzinger, Seubert, Nagler, Houbraken "De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen", Walther Bernt "Die Niederländischen Maler des 17.
