David Vinckboons
(Malines 1576–1632 Amsterdam)
A wooded landscape with travellers,
oil on canvas, 81 x 111 cm, framed
Provenance:
Private collection, Belgium
The present painting comes with a certificate issued by Klaus Ertz (March 2017). Ertz writes: “With the genre scenes of ‘travellers in a landscape’, inspired by contemporary everyday life, the painter evidently satisfied the demand of his clients. Wooded landscapes make up the larger share of the artist’s painted oeuvre. Trees cover the major part of the compositions, so that the beholder always looks into a forest. Views into the distance help extend these narrow forests into imaginary landscapes in which figures ‘move about’. What distinguishes the art of David Vinckboons from that of Gillis van Coninxloo and Jan Brueghel the Elder is his ambition to animate his forest with figural staffage and add a narrative dimension to his compositions […].”
Ertz dates the present painting to the artist’s Amsterdam period, around 1620.
