Jan van Kessel the Younger (1654 Antwerp - 1708 Madrid) attr; Pair of large pantry interiors with still lifes, pairs of figures and animals Counterparts. The monumentally large paintings depict opulently filled pantries with a wide variety of delicious foods - fruit, vegetables, game, fish and seafood - in the manner of a "hidden object". These also attract various live animals, such as several dogs, a cat, a marten, a squirrel, a parrot and a pair of pigeons. There is also a pair of figures with a kitchen maid and a young lady, who in one of the paintings also arouses the carnal desires of an older man. Jan van Kessel the Younger was born in Antwerp, the son of Jan van Kessel the Elder (1626 - 1679) and Maria van Apshoven. He came from the famous Flemish painting dynasty of the Brueghel family. His father was the son of Hieronymus van Kessel the Younger and Paschasia Brueghel (the daughter of Jan Brueghel the Elder). Jan van Kessel the Younger was therefore the great-grandson of Jan Brueghel the Elder and great-great-grandson of Pieter Brueghel the Elder through his paternal grandmother. He was probably trained by his father Jan van Kessel the Elder, but instead of becoming a master of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke, he went to Madrid in 1679 or earlier, where he became a court painter and was officially appointed painter to the Queen in 1686. Oil on canvas, double; 210 cm - 214 cm x 313 cm - 318 cm.
