Jam Brueghel with Pieter van Avont (1568-1625)

The Holy Family (ca. 1620/23)

Depictions of Mary with a child surrounded by flowers have been known since the 15th century, but no one has painted them as richly and imaginatively as Jan Brueghel the Elder. Similar to the putti in the picture, he deals with the genre in a playful way, varies it and weaves the garland not only from flowers, but also from fruits and vegetables.

He cheerfully ignores the seasons, mixing what blooms, grows and ripens in spring, summer and autumn. And it is precisely such casual and at first glance inconspicuous details from which the artist lets the wonderful of the Christian religion speak. The floral wreath blends into a monumental letter M as a glorification of the Mother of God.

Gerard de la Vallée & Pieter van Avont - Wooded Landscape with the Virgin, Christ Child and Saint John - 

Pieter van Avont or Peter van Avont, (1600–1652) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and printmaker known for his religious scenes and cabinet paintings often including nude children and putti. Van Avont was a frequent collaborator with many leading painters in Antwerp.

Gerard de la Vallée (1596/1597 – after 1667) was a Flemish painter of landscapes and history paintings. His work was inspired by the great Flemish masters and mainly produced for the export market.

He collaborated with other painters. Collaborations with the figure painter Pieter van Avont are documented. An example is the Wooded Landscape with the Virgin, Christ Child and Saint John (At Lempertz on 21 May 2016, Cologne, Lot 1256).

Aksamitny raz jeszcze albo vitae angelorum czyli Aniołowie zawsze zwiastują nam radość wielką!

Dzisiaj kalendarz wspomina mało znanego malarza flamandzkiego, który pracował wraz z Janem Bruegelem Aksamitnym. Razem malowali, wspólnie prowadzili szkołę malarstwa. Ich obrazy są pełne wdzięku. Spójrzmy na kilka tak pełnych uroku i modnych w tamtym czasie nie tylko we Flandrii ale w całej Europie a nawet za oceanem, gdzie zaczynali osiedlać się Europejczycy. Pieter van Avont bo to o nim…

Pieter van Avont and Jan Bruegel the Elder - Holy Family in a Wreath of Flowers and Fruits

[dutch-and-flemish-painters]

Isaac van Oosten - Noah leading the animals to the ark - 

oil on copper, Height: 69.5 cm (27.3 in); Width: 86.8 cm (34.1 in)

Izaak van Oosten, Isaak van Oosten or Isaac van Oosten (sometimes, due to a repeated typographical error: Izaak van Costen) (10 December 1613 – December 1661) was a Flemish Baroque landscape and cabinet painter active in Antwerp.

Van Oosten specialized in landscape paintings and panels for Antwerp cabinets. His compositions appear to have been popular and incorporate all the elements of the Antwerp school of landscape painting of the first half of the 17th century. He was strongly influenced by other Antwerp landscape painters, in particular Jan Brueghel the Elder, and contemporary Flemish painters such as Alexander Keirincx, Lucas van Uden and Jan Wildens. He was also influenced by the late work of Jan Brueghel the Younger to whom his work is sometimes erroneously ascribed.

His landscapes are simple with open spaces and mostly hilly landscapes typically filled with a pond or road and several clusters of trees. There is an overall sense of gentleness and calm in these compositions. An even, gentle light spreads over the entire painting and the trees are untouched by the wind. He appears generally not to have been influenced by the woodland painters with their preference for dense forest scenes. A number of his landscapes have a Mediterranean flavour. There is no evidence that Van Oosten travelled to Italy and his Italianate landscapes must therefore have been inspired by the work of other painters.

He regularly returned to the themes of The Garden of Eden and the Creation of the Animals, themes that were introduced into Flemish landscape art by Jan Brueghel the Elder. These themes allowed him to show off his skills in painting a variety of animal species – mammals, fish and birds, as well as the imaginary unicorns. He often painted on copper, the smooth surface of which allowed him to arrive at his detailed depictions of flora and fauna.

As was common practice at the time, he often collaborated with painters who specialized in particular scenic elements. Willem van Herp is believed to have painted the staffage in many of van Oosten's works. A good example of such collaboration are the two panels on the Four Elements, on which van Oosten collaborated with Pieter van Avont for the staffage and possibly Jan van Kessel the Elder for the animals and still-life elements.

Works by van Oosten can be found in the collections of the Uffizi, the Museo del Prado, the Hermitage Museum, the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans, the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes, the Toledo Museum of Art and other museums.
