Dutch School of the Late 18th Century After a Work by Jan Davidsz De Heem
Dutch School of the late 18th century after a work by Jan Davidsz de Heem. Canvas 100 cm by 74 cm Frame 113 cm by 87.5 Our beautifully crafted painting is based on a painting by Jan Davidsz de Heem (collection of the Prado Museum in Madrid under reference P002090) with variations. Rich objects surrounded by fruit and oysters are placed on a table partially covered with a blue velvet tablecloth. Among the objects to note are a pocket watch and a very beautiful upturned silver cup. The scene shows us open oysters, a half-peeled orange, an upturned cup, half-empty glasses, and an open watch, all signs of a message of vanity in the riches of life. Jan Davidsz de Heem (1606, 1683) De Heem was born in Utrecht as Johannes van Antwerpen. He first studied with his father David de Heem the Elder (1570-1631), then with Balthasar van der Ast. He lived in Leiden from 1625 to 1629, where he studied in 1629 with David Bailly (1584, 1657). He moved to the southern Netherlands and joined the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke around 1635 and became a burgess of that city in 1637. However, he was often absent, as evidenced by the fees he had to pay for this. His remarkable talent earned him a considerable reputation. He could hardly keep up with the demand. De Heem was considered one of the greatest painters of his time. He was well paid, and a portrait of Prince William III surrounded by a cartouche of flowers and fruit was sold for 2,000 guilders, one of the highest prices ever paid for a painting during the Dutch Golden Age. His sons worked with him in his studio on commissions for new paintings. He retouched their works and added his signature to the pictures. He remained in Antwerp until 1667, when he returned to Utrecht, where records show his presence from 1668 to 1671. He left Utrecht in 1671 as French troops approached the city. It is not known when he finally returned to Antwerp, but his death there is recorded in the guild books. Van Heem married twice, first to Alette van Weede, with whom he had three surviving children at his death in 1643, one of whom, Cornelis, would become a still-life painter. He married a second time in 1644 to Anna Catherina Ruckers with whom he had six more children, including Jan, who also became a still life painter. Besides his two sons, he had several apprentices: Michiel Verstylen, Alexander Coosemans, Thomas de Klerck, Lenaert Rougghe, Theodor Aenvanck, Andries Benedetti, Elias van den Broeck, Jacob Marrel, Hendrik Schoock, and Abraham Mignon.
