Description
Jakob Ferdinand Voet, 1639 Antwerpen – 1689 Paris, zugeschrieben PORTRAIT OF A NOBLEMAN Oil on canvas. 73 x 53 cm. In Louis XV style frame. Set in contrast against an indeterminate ground, the slightly left-facing bust portrait of a man of prime age with an allonge wig and ornamentally decorated mauve silk robe with a striped bow, which came into fashion in the 1680s. The career of the Antwerp painter Vouet also took him via France to Italy, where he spent a longer period of time in Rome. Between 1672 and 1678, he created the famous series of 37 portraits of the most beautiful women in Rome. His work suggests that he was inspired by the portraitists Pierre Mignard and Carlo Maratta, who were active in Rome. (1390301) (13)
