Waar?   Tentoonstelling Theodoor Rombouts – Virtuoos van het Vlaamse Caravaggisme in Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Gent

Wanneer?   21 maart 2023

De afbeelding van de antieke filosofen Democritus en Heraclitus is een populair thema onder caravaggisten. Volgens een Romeinse legende leidde het zien van de menselijke dwaasheid ertoe dat Democritus begon te lachen en dat Heraclitus in huilen uitbarstte. Ter vergelijking hangen naast het werk van Rombouts twee schilderijen die ik goed ken uit het Rijksmuseum: portretten van de twee filosofen door Hendrick ter Brugghen. Rombouts combineert de twee portretten in één schilderij en voegt ook hier een stilleven met boeken toe.

De vijf zintuigen waardoor de mens de wereld om zich heen kan ervaren, verkennen en begrijpen worden volgens de Zuid-Nederlandse beeldtraditie voorgesteld door sierlijke vrouwelijke figuren. Niet echter bij Theodoor Rombouts die hiervoor vijf volkse mannen gebruikt. Op de voorgrond plaatst hij een stilleven met muziekinstrumenten en voedingsmiddelen. De muziekinstrumenten en de pijp verwijzen naar de vluchtigheid van het leven en de wijn en de spiegel naar de bedrieglijkheid van zintuiglijke waarneming.

Als beeldmerk voor de tentoonstelling koos het museum voor Luitspeler. Opvallend aan het schilderij zijn de doordringende blik van de musicus en de prachtig geschilderde positie van zijn handen. Daar kan Anthony van Dijck nog wat van leren. Het schilderen van realistische handen is - eufemistisch uitgedrukt – niet Van Dijcks sterke kant. Ik schreef daarover bij mijn bezoek aan de Alte Pinakothek in München (28 juli 2019). Maar kijk nu eens hoe levensecht de handen van de luitspeler van Rombouts zijn geschilderd!

Bij de tandentrekker is gebaseerd op een compositie van Caravaggio. Zoals op veel werken voegt Rombouts ook hier een stilleven toe. Dit keer bestaat dat uit een veelheid aan instrumenten en wat documenten. De omstanders zijn volkse mannen met door het leven getekende hoofden. Rombouts schilderde het werk twee keer: in 1625 en in 1628. Bij de latere versie laat hij rechtsboven twee personen weg, waardoor de compositie evenwichtiger, maar ook wat theatraler wordt.

So just.. Fun reminder to people who draw fanart.

Don't ever let anybody tell you its wrong or bad or less than "Real art" cause these people aint knowin SHIT.

Fanworks are PIVOTAL to development of style and culture.

Whats this? Just Some fanart of prometheus. Wow Theodoor Rombouts what a fuckin weeb. Oh whats this? Just some fanart someone commissioned from me lol. Cool scene in the book tho.

You know how long I can do this? Forever. Amphibia is basically fanart fusion of Pepper Anne and DBZ Midsummers Nights Dream? Basically just a cross over fic with ocs from Canterbury Tales and Metamorphoses Seriously lets start thread about how almost all the paintings that are super famous is mostly just fanart of preexisting lore. Shit man, just draw what you love.

Arfight attack of Finch, for @krembruleed !

I was inspired by the fact Finch's outfits seem to be heavily inspired by historical clothing, so I've decided I'll try to base her attack on a historical painting. And as The lute player by Theodoor Rombouts has a somewhat silly face expression, so I took the opportunity to make it a study!

The side-by-side comparison under the cut!

[kapilesque]

Thinking of this painting that was hanging on Wernicke's wall... Got me wondering what was RB's intention of putting it up. Time for yapping.

Could it relate to Miles? Since in myth about Prometheus we have a theme of helping mankind and being punished for it; aka Miles goes to MM in order to expose Murkoff as to prevent more people from being harmed by a malicious company; in result of which, aside from suffering mental trauma his body becomes mutilated (he loses his fingers).

That's just one version of Prometheus' story though. There's also the fact that in other version's Prometheus marries Pandora who opens the great lid and all evils and diseases, etc. flew out (so essentially how Walrider left the containment of the Asylum?).

But hey, I'm just reaching. I haven't had contact with the Outlast lore in so long, so I don't remember many details, lol. Could always be the fact that developers saw this painting and thought: what a cool ass painting.

(The painting is by a baroque painter Theodoor Rombouts, but it was tough to find it in general)

Per gli amanti della musica: vere chicche al Museo degli strumenti musicali

La collezione Sono delle vere e proprie opere d’arte quelle che ammirerete al Museo degli strumenti musicali di Roma. Nel cuore della Città Eterna, accanto alla basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, una delle più belle, c’è un luogo splendido per tutti gli appassionati di musica. La collezione di strumenti musicali antichi è raccolta nella Palazzina Samoggia, ex Caserma Principe di Piemonte. Qui, nel 1964, fu trasportata l’intera collezione perché l’edificio risultava uno dei meno danneggiati dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale. La collezione in mostra era del tenore Gennaro Evangelista Gorga, acquisita dallo Stato italiano nel 1949. Il visitatore potrà apprezzare strumenti magnifici, delle vere e proprie opere d’arte, realizzate da maestri artigiani raffinati e scrupolosi che lavoravano per soddisfare la sensibilità musicale ed estetica dei committenti. Su ben due piani sono raccolti strumenti musicali insoliti e di rara bellezza come clavicembali, arpe, violini, pianoforti, strumenti ad arco e a fiato, una sezione dedicata alla banda e una agli strumenti a pizzico. Il Museo degli strumenti musicali Farete un viaggio nell’antico alla scoperta (e riscoperta) degli attuali strumenti musicali. Un viaggio che lega passato e presente, che ne evidenzia differenze ma anche notevoli punti in comune. Pleyel, Piano, Parigi 1840 Come non restare affascinati dai sublimi intarsi in legno degli strumenti meccanici, dalla regalità del Pianoforte Peyel (1840), donato al museo nel 1976 dal marchese Alessandro Gerini che lo aveva ereditato dal Principe di Torlonia, dalla bellezza del pianoforte a coda con tasti in madreperla, dagli organi che riproducevano gorgheggi simili al canto degli uccelli oppure dai clavicembali finemente decorati con disegni floreali o vedute paesaggistiche. Il Museo degli strumenti musicali, inoltre, ha dedicato una stanza al restauro, un laboratorio aperto e protetto da una vetrata all’interno della quale sono presenti gli oggetti in restauro le cui fasi della lavorazione sono dettagliate in pannelli esplicativi. Al momento della nostra visita, il laboratorio è impegnato nel restauro del dipinto di Theodoor Rombouts (1597-1637) “Il gioco del tric-Trac” e di un pianoforte. La missione del Museo degli strumenti musicali è da sempre quella di divulgare la cultura musicale attraverso gli strumenti che hanno reso possibile questa straordinaria forma d’arte amata da tutti i popoli e in ogni epoca. La collezione nel tempo si è arricchita di nuove acquisizioni su cui vale la pena soffermarsi come l’Arpa Barberini, il gruppo dei cornamuti torti cinquecenteschi e il violino detto il Portoghese di Andrea Amati. Spazio dedicato al restauro Il Museo è aperto dal martedì alla domenica dalle 09:30 – 19:30 Il costo del biglietto è 6 euro ma sono previste riduzioni L’ingresso è gratuito ogni domenica del mese e nelle date indicate sul sito Read the full article

The Backgammon Players

Artist: Theodoor Rombouts (Flemish, 1597–1637)

Date: 1634

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh

In this painting, and also in some of his other works, Rombouts has placed himself and his wife rather obviously among the bystanders, a custom which was not unusual in Dutch genre painting, particularly among the Caravaggists. The lavishly dressed soldier bears the artist's likeness.

Waar?   Tentoonstelling Theodoor Rombouts – Virtuoos van het Vlaamse Caravaggisme in Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Gent

Wanneer?   21 maart 2023

De Vlaamse schilder Theodoor Rombouts (1597-1637) is vandaag bij weinigen bekend. Toch was het in zijn tijd een gerespecteerd schilder. Zijn vakgenoot Anthony van Dijck nam hem op in zijn Iconographie, een gegraveerde portrettengalerij van beroemde mannen uit de artistieke, politieke en intellectuele wereld. In 1620 wordt de jonge schilder in Rome geregistreerd, waar veel schilders werken in navolging van Caravaggio. Diens belangrijkste Italiaanse navolger was Bartelomeo Manfredi (1582-1622). Rombouts raakte onder de indruk van het werk van Manfredi. Zoals alle caravaggisten maakte hij gebruik van chiaroscuro (licht-donker), natuurgetrouw realisme, theatrale scènes en het gebruik van een beelduitsnede waarbij lichamen abrupt werden afgesneden. Het werk van Rombouts kenmerkt zich daarnaast door het gebruik van felle kleuren: rood, blauw, paars en oker. Ook voegt hij stillevens toe met boeken en stillevens.

De tentoonstelling in Gent is thematisch opgezet, waarbij werken van Rombouts steeds worden geplaatst naast schilderijen van tijdgenoten. Zo zien we in de eerste zaal Christus verdrijft de wisselaars uit de tempel, eerst door Manfredi en dan door Romboits. De werken hebben veel gemeen, maar het werk van de Vlaming vertoont meer realisme in de gezichten. Het tafereel doet bij hem minder geënsceneerd aan en oogt dynamischer.

We zien twee afbeeldingen van de heilige Sebastiaan van de hand van Rombouts. Het eerste werk is uit zijn Italiaanse periode en brengt het verhaal van de omwille van zijn geloof gemartelde officier uit de lijfwacht van keizer Diocletianus terug tot de essentie. Sterk uitgelicht tegen een donkere achtergrond zien we de jongeman met opgeslagen ogen. In de latere Antwerpse versie wordt Sebastiaan verzorgd door de Romeinse weduwe Irene en haar dienares. Op de achtergrond is een landschap te zien.
