(1585 – after 1655 Haarlem)
A copper kettle, a candleholder, and a candle snuffer on a table,
oil on panel, 53.5 x 84 cm, framed
Provenance:
sale, Fischer, Luzern 20 November 1962, lot 2401, ill. (erroneously as C. J. Delff);
Lodi, Munich, 1964;
sale, Finarte, Milan, 31 May 1966, lot 37, ill.;
Galleria Finarte, Milan, 1966;
sale, Christie’s, London, 20 July 1990, lot 191, colour ill. (erroneously as follower of J. W. Delff)
Literature:
P. Gammelbo, Floris Gerritsz van Schooten, in: Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek 17 (1966), pp. 152, no. 50
We are grateful to Fred Meijer for confirming the attribution on the basis of a digital photograph.
Floris van Schooten became Dean of the Guild of Saint Luke in Haarlem in 1639. He is noted for his early pictures of market and kitchen scenes, and images of ontbijtjes (breakfast still lifes). The present work is however a more austere composition which focuses on the metallic surfaces of the pots arranged around the centrally placed candlestick. This may reflect the influence of Pieter Claesz or Willem Heda.
