"Bitter-sweet" -- George Herbert (1593-1633)

Ah my dear angry Lord, Since thou dost love, yet strike; Cast down, yet help afford; Sure I will do the like.

I will complain, yet praise; I will bewail, approve; And all my sour-sweet days I will lament, and love.

The Holy Trinity, Frans Francken the Elder (1542-1616)

Nicolaes van Verendael or Nicolaes van Veerendael (1640 in Antwerp – 1691 in Antwerp) was a Flemish painter active in Antwerp who is mainly known for his flower paintings and vanitas still lifes. He was a frequent collaborator of other Antwerp artists to whose compositions he added the still life elements. He also painted a number of singeries, i.e, scenes with monkeys dressed and acting as humans.

Nicolaes van Verendael contributed to the spread of the genre of the 'monkey scene', also called 'singerie' (a word, which in French means a 'comical grimace, behaviour or trick'). Comical scenes with monkeys appearing in human attire and a human environment are a pictorial genre that was initiated in Flemish painting in the 16th century and was subsequently further developed in the 17th century. The Flemish engraver Pieter van der Borcht introduced the singerie as an independent theme around 1575 in a series of prints, which are strongly embedded in the artistic tradition of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. These prints were widely disseminated and the theme was then picked up by other Flemish artists in particular by those in Antwerp such as Frans Francken the Younger, Jan Brueghel the Elder and the Younger, Sebastiaen Vrancx and Jan van Kessel the Elder. David Teniers the Younger became the principal practitioner of the genre and developed it further with his younger brother Abraham Teniers.

Later in the 17th century Nicolaes van Verendael started to paint these ‘monkey scenes’ as well. As he had collaborated with David Teniers the Younger in Antwerp, he was familiar with Teniers' work in this genre. An example is the Monkey feast which reprises the theme of 'The King drinks' with the human roles played by monkeys. Another example is the Merry Company or Singerie (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, which depicts monkeys reveling in an inn. A considerable number of paintings and additional drawings of singeries by Veerendael has been identified on the art market and in private collections.

Frans Francken the Elder - The Holy Trinity (1542-1616)

[books0977]

The Interior of a Picture Gallery with Connoisseurs Admiring Paintings (first half of 17th century). Frans Francken II (Flemish, 1581-1642). Oil on panel.

Depictions of galleries, both real and fictional, were quite popular in the first half of the seventeenth century, in large part due to their promotion by Francken and Jan Brueghel the Elder. The present picture is an imagined recreation of a collector's cabinet in Flanders. The room is filled with a plethora of objects that illustrate the collector's eclectic and worldly taste. Various objets d'art, jewelry, shells, flowers, and a variety of paintings, both identifiable and in the general style of contemporary Flemish artists fill the room.
