Jan van Dalen - Old Master Paintings

(Brussels? before 1610 – after 1653)
Sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus,
oil on canvas, 138 x 107 cm, framed

Provenance:
Collection of the late Wilhelm Prince of Thurn and Taxis, Vienna

The present painting is a major work by the artist Jan van Dalen. Little is known about the artist. Between 1632 and 1670 he was active in Antwerp. Two further paintings by him dating from 1653 are known: a Tambourine Player in the Michaelis Collection in Cape Town and a Bacchus in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (inv. no. GG 1687). The artist is believed to have travelled to Rome in 1631, where he would have had the chance to familiarise himself with classical Italian Art. Having brought characteristic features of the master’s style back to Flanders, he amalgamated them with the more conservative style prevalent in his native country.
