Studio of David Teniers II DPG107, DPG109
... the pair on DPG112).DPG107 depicts a female pilgrim in a landscape, wearing heavy clothing and holding a staff and rosary; on her grey cape is a pilgrim badge; on her belt is a small portable religious sculpture, with wings to protect it. The picture is related to a drawing in Berlin (Related works, no. 1) [1], and a similar head of a female pilgrim, holding a coin, was in Amsterdam in the 1920s (Related works, no. 2). The woman in DPG107 looks very much like a figure in a series of five etchings of pilgrims by Teniers, in reverse (Related works, no. 3c) [3]. In the painting she has acquired a pilgrim badge, and what was a water gourd has become a triptych. The exact relation between the print and the picture is not clear. Teniers probably made the first versions of the paintings as models for the prints, and then he and his studio produced many copies of both paintings and prints. These are most probably later versions by the studio.DPG109 shows a bald old pilgrim doffing his hat, perhaps to ask for alms. He too holds a staff and wears a grey cape with pilgrim badge; from his belt hangs a water gourd. His figure also occurs, again in reverse, in the same series of five etchings by Teniers (Related works, no. 3a) [2]. The differences are greater here: in DPG109 he is full-face, whereas in the print he is almost in profile; in the print he has a shell-like pilgrim badge, whereas in the painting the badge seems to be made from another material; and his staff too is different. Again, the relation between print and painting is unknown. The same pilgrim is depicted in a painting in Dunkirk, possibly after the print (Related works, no. 3b). Two pictures of pilgrims in the Ashmolean Museum, about the same size as the DPG pair and painted in a similar rather crude style, are considered to be by the master himself (Related works, no. 4). They seem to be painted somewhat more proficiently than the ones in Dulwich. The figure in An Old Man holding a Long Wooden Staff (Related works, no. 5) [4] holds a different staff but has the same hat in his right hand; he is depicted in front of people sitting in a tavern, doing nothing. Klinge suggests that Teniers here intended the message that poverty would be the result of such a slothful way of life.233 Although the line dividing beggars and pilgrims seems to have been thin at the time, probably no such message was intended by Teniers (or his studio)....

The distant hills have retained their vibrant blue tint, indicating that the pigment used is likely to be a mineral blue; it has not been tested but has the appearance of ultramarine.

... TENIER FEC, c. 1634, copper, 37.5 × 56 cm. KMSKB, Brussels, 1257.3211d) David Teniers II, The Artist in his Studio, signed and dated D.TENIER.F and 1635, panel, 54.6 × 77.5 cm. Private collection [5].3312) Jan Steen, Self-Portrait with Lute, signed J. Steen, panel, 55.3 x 43.8 cm. Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, 373 (1930.110) [6].34These two paintings were already paired in Britton’s inventory of 1813, and continued to be in all subsequent gallery publications. Whether they were created as a pair, however, is debatable. In favour is the fact that the combination of St Peter and St Mary Magdalen is not unusual: both had erred before becoming saints, and both had tried to atone for their sins by life in the desert and contemplation. They are variations on a theme, using a very similar composition. Against the idea is the fact that in both paintings the figure sits on the left, so they do not form a balancing pair. (Another picture of St Peter in Penitence (Related works, no. 9d) was paired with an Annunciation, but again it is not known how or when they became pendants.)...
... s, as in the picture with gipsies in St Petersburg (Related works, no. 8).Interestingly, there are some grotto pictures by Teniers that have no theme, religious or secular: a painting in Washington (Related works, no. 4) [3] , which does have a cross at the far left; a drawing in London (Related works, no. 1a) [1]; and interiors in Berlin (Related works, no. 11a) [5] and in a private collection (Related works, no. 11d) [5]. It has been suggested that Teniers produced these ‘empty’ landscapes for a client to choose the subject to be filled in,42 as suggested in connection with the drawing mentioned above (Related works, no. 1a).Paintings of grottoes are shown hanging on the walls in several interiors by Teniers of the 1630s. They usually include hermits and penitents, and present a contrast to the scenes in the rooms – with titles such as Merry Company or Company at Table and The Prodigal Son between the Prostitutes (such as Related works, nos 11a and 11b). Kauffmann in 1943 interpreted the grotto in the Allegory of the Five Senses (which takes the form of a bourgeois conversation piece: Related works, no. 11c) as a reference to asceticism, as a contrast to the senses.43 Interestingly, in a self-portrait with lute by Jan Steen in Madrid (c. 1663–5) an oil sketch with a hermit seems to be depicted, the composition of which looks very much that of our two grotto pictures (Related works, no. 12) [6]. He seems to be a reference to spiritual contemplation in contrast to the joyous lute-player, a juxtaposition comparable to that in the Teniers interiors.44Two pictures similar to DPG314 and DPG323 appear in a self-portrait of the artist in his studio painted in 1635 (Related works, no. 11d) [5]. However, the picture with the composition which in Dulwich shows St Mary Magdalen is shown with seemingly different proportions to DPG323 and without the figure of the saint, so it may be a version of the Dulwich picture.45It has proved impossible to trace the provenance of DPG314 and DPG323 before Bourgeois’ ownership. Their absence from Desenfans’ lists, inventories and sales makes it possible that they were purchased after his death....

Musée d’art et d’histoire, Legs Gustave Revilliod, Geneva, CR0194 [2].7This is an Italianate landscape of the 1660s. It was catalogued in the Bourgeois collection in 1813 as by Cuyp, which at the time meant Aelbert Cuyp (1620–91); in 1859 Denning doubted the attribution, and suggested Aelbert’s father Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp (1594–1652). In 1880 Richter and Sparkes demoted it to ‘Dutch School’. Although to modern eyes clearly not by Cuyp, the picture was considered good enough to occupy a central place in the passage to the dining room in Bourgeois’ house in Charlotte Street (a position also owed no doubt to its being rather large). It is reminiscent of Cuyp in its composition – a pastoral scene with an elevated foreground and a distant view to one side (cf. DPG4, DPG96) – but the curiously rather large herdsman and his cows and dog are quite unlike Cuyp. Comparison with two paintings by Jan Frans Soolmaker makes the attribution to him convincing (Related works, 1, 2) [1-2]....

Jacob van Ruisdael DPG168
... sdael adopts a low viewpoint, magnifying the mills so that they dominate the landscape, and silhouetting them against a dramatic sky. Slive has commented that the handling and overall composition are similar to Ruisdael’s Windmill near a River and the Ruins of Egmond Abbey and the Buurkerk at Egmond-Binnen (Related works, no. 7), which shows an eight-sided mill.27 Here, however, unlike those two pictures, brilliant sunlight breaks through to illuminate a sliver of the landscape, monumentalizing an everyday scene. In this monumentality and drama Ruisdael departed from his early models, his uncle Salomon van Ruysdael (c. 1600/1603–70) and Jan van Goyen (1596–1656).DPG168 shows a landscape where windmills turn and people work. The choice of what is essentially an industrial landscape as a subject for painting is one of Ruisdael’s most important legacies, leading to Romanticism and its various 19th- and 20th-century descendants. As with all his works, it is difficult to decide whether the artist intended his picture to have an allegorical or symbolic meaning.28 Windmills were very common in the Netherlands at the time – for grinding grain, for keeping water out of the polders, and for water management in general. They were often depicted in prints,29 such as the Amstel Gesichjes, six picturesque views of the river Amstel by Abraham Bloteling after Jacob van Ruisdael probably made for tourists: in three of these prints mills feature prominently, especially in the frontispiece (Related works, no. 9) [5]. Today the windmill is an icon of the Netherlands, but in the 16th century windmills came to be given a wide range of meanings: as an icon of modern technology, as a symbol of the mind, of the fortune of man, of the evil world, or, in a more specifically Christian context, of the Eucharist and Redemption.30 As Seymour Slive has repeatedly pointed out, however, given the objects featured in Ruisdael’s paintings, almost any composition could be interpreted as symbolic. In the case of DPG168, it is perhaps best to say that while some of Ruisdael’s contemporaries may have seen symbolism in it, others may not.Given its dramatic nature it is not surprising that the picture should have attracted the attention of John Constable, who painted a copy in 1831 (Related works, no. 11) [6]. Constable visited the Gallery on 30 July 1830 with five other Royal Academicians, and chose the Ruisdael and five other paintings to copy in the Royal Academy school. He had long been interested in Ruisdael, writing in a letter of 4 February 1799 that ‘I shall begin painting as soon as I have the loan of a sweet little picture by Jacob Ruysdael to copy’.31 Constable’s copy bears an inscription under a label that reads ‘… by John Constable RA f. 1831 from the original painting by J. Ruysdael in the Dulwich Gallery’. Desenfans and Bourgeois had assembled their collection precisely to enable such copying. In Constable’s day the windmill had become an icon of an almost vanished golden age, whereas in Ruisdael’s time it was a vital source of Dutch prosperity.Parts of DPG168 had been overpainted, perhaps by Bourgeois. The overpainting was removed in 1996 (see Technical Notes), but the figures can still be seen in the Constable copy and in the print by Ralph Cockburn (1779–1820) [7].32...

Jacob van Ruisdael DPG105
... ed by the dramatic landscapes. Back in the Netherlands, he had begun to paint landscapes with Northern motifs by 1648 — mountain views, rock and water scenes, and waterfalls – and he continued to do so for the rest of his career (Related works, no. 3). On the other hand, Ruisdael was already interested in waterfalls in the 1650s, and had presumably seen them during his travels in Germany. Furthermore, he was also following an earlier Dutch tradition of waterfall scenes, chiefly in prints and drawings by Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617; Related works, no. 4) and Roelant Savery (1576–1639), who depicted mountainous scenes in the Tyrol (Related works, no. 5).54 The fantasy landscapes of Hercules Segers (1589/90–1633) were also earlier in depicting waterfalls (Related works, no. 6).A number of Ruisdael’s waterfall scenes contain elements that might be interpreted as symbolic – castles, ruined huts, and so on. Some critics have seen a connection between the waterfall motif and references in contemporary literature to the cascade, a topos for the transience of human life.55 The play on Ruisdael’s name found in Houbraken also comes somewhat earlier in religious moralizing literature: in the writings of Jan Luyken (1708) the emblem of a waterfall with the motto ‘Tot verdooving’, ‘To deafening’, points the contrast between the noise of the waterfall and the silence of God:Indeed, tranquillity came to this life,which now for so long and many daysinhabited this valley of noise [Ruis-dal],a place that must displease this life.Oh valley of noise [Ruis-dal], all vanity,from the turbulent and teeming lifethat the world gives in the realm of time,one must flee and forsake you.56Others, however, have rejected the interpretation of Ruisdael’s works as allegorical or symbolic, arguing that such moralizing is too unspecific for it to be decoded today.The present picture would presumably have attracted Desenfans and Bourgeois for its sublime, Romantic character. Others disapproved. German authors including Goethe, Schlegel and Kugler, and the 19th-century theorist Théophile Thoré-Bürger (1807–69), favoured the Heimath-getreuen, the painters faithful to the homeland: Dutch landscape painters should depict real Dutch landscapes, with features such as windmills. Painters who went to foreign countries, be it Scandinavia or Italy, were regarded as traitors.57...

After Rubens DPG506, DPG450, DPG218
... (1972–3), by Vlieghe; in 1977 Vlieghe rediscovered the altarpiece as a work by Rubens (and studio). In DPG506 only the Holy Family is depicted, with the Child standing on a stone pedestal with one foot raised, probably meant to be resting on the leg of his mother; St Willibrord and the angels crowning him have been left out. Probably a print or a drawing after the altarpiece was the model for the (amateur) London artist. The only known print could not have been the model: by Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert, it shows only the Madonna and Child, in reverse; he added a fountain and inscriptions which made the scene into a Madonna as the source of life (Related works, no. 1d.I). A drawing by an unknown artist, probably 17th-century (Related works, no. 1c), shows the scene with about the same crop; the quality seems to be a little better than in DPG506. The original painting in the church of St Willibrord inspired Jan Boeckhorst for a composition for an altarpiece with The Holy Family and St Francis, known by a modello; here we see a saint kneeling on stairs with the Holy Family towering above him (Related works, no. 2)....

... Shepherd and his Flock in the National Gallery (Related works, no. 1) [5]. Its principal subject is a shepherd playing a flute in the evening, his flock around him. The relationship to the National Gallery picture was first noted by Murray in 1980. Denning in 1858 caused confusion since he mixed up the numbers that were previously 175 and 207, calling them both the ‘Two Rainbows’, which applies to DPG132 but not to DPG218.Peter Murray also asked in a note whether DPG218 could have been the picture once in the collection of Sir Joshua Reynolds that was sold as lot 72 at Christie’s, London, on 7 Feb. 1801 (‘Rubens – A Landscape by Moonlight, a fine serene effect with the rich and luxuriant colouring of this great master; out of the collection of Sir Joshua Reynolds’).850 However it seems more likely that that picture is the one now in the Courtauld Institute, London (Related works, no. 2).851The picture is testament to the high esteem in which Rubens’s landscapes were held in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. That the painting is on panel might suggest that it is an early copy, but until dendrochonological analysis is carried out this must remain a conjecture....

... an in the figure of Mars, which is composed with numerous sweeping and rapid brushstrokes; in Titian’s Allegory of Marriage (‘Allegory of Alfonso d’Avalos’), now in the Louvre (c. 1530–35; Related works, no. 4a), for example, we see ‘Alfonso d’Avalos’ in the same position as Mars, not with a bare forearm, but wearing a red shirt under his armour. That painting was in the royal collection in London when Rubens was there.624 The figure and features of Venus recall Titian’s nudes, such as the Venus with the Mirror, now in Washington (Related works, no. 5b.I); she also has her forearms crossed over her body, but in reverse to DPG285, a motif that Rubens used again for Atalante in his composition of Meleager and Atalante (Related works, no. 2c.I–II).Another visual source for Venus with her forearms almost parallel and crossed over her body are the many Roman copies after the Aphrodite by Praxiteles (c. 395–c. 330 BC), such as the Medici Venus and the Capitoline Venus (Related works, nos 5c.I–IV). The many references to older imagery, especially to Antique sculpture, raises the question whether the audience was supposed to recognize these quotations (see also under DPG451). Rubens’s pictures may have been discussed, for instance in his studio in York House in London, where Gerbier lived and where the collection of the Duke of Buckingham, who was murdered in 1628 (see also under DPG143), was still visible.625 Heinen in 2011 suggests that Rubens as a Spanish envoy used his pictures, and the conversation around them, as a means to win the trust of English courtiers in his attempts to make peace between England and Spain.626The picture that we know Rubens made in London is Peace and War, now in the National Gallery. It and DPG285 are closely related. We have already noted that Venus looks very much like the seated Pax, Goddess of Peace (Related works, no. 2b) [3]. The figures in the centre of the National Gallery picture are almost as large, but the figures are closer together in DPG285. Pax is suckling a young boy, who is standing next to her instead of seeming to be ‘defying gravity or slipping backwards’ (see Technical Notes) as in DPG285. The boy is her son Pluto, who represents wealth. Other interpretations see her as Venus, who nourishes her son Cupid, referring more generally to fertility.627 The difference between the two pictures is that in the National Gallery composition Mars is chased away by Minerva since he endangers peace, whereas in DPG285 Mars is tamed.628 That Rubens had taken inspiration from the Tellus relief for the babies in DPG285 and the National Gallery picture, two pictures about the desirability of peace and what is called in Latin ex pace ubertas (prosperity comes from peace), is very appropriate, since Tellus represented Peace, brought about by the Roman Emperor Augustus.629 According to Heinen 2011 it would seem logical that DPG285 was made as a starting point for the Allegory of War and Peace, thus while Rubens was still in London. But the technical evidence, in particular the different nature of the ground layers in the two pictures, suggests that Venus, Mars and Cupid was not painted in England: it must have been created either before or after Rubens’s visit. In support of Heinen 2011, on the other hand, the argument could be that Rubens had taken prepared canvases from Flanders to London, on one of which he had painted DPG285, but they had run out when he started on War and Peace. In any case it ‘seems likely that Rubens had large pieces of prepared canvas in his studio, which he joined as required’ (see Technical Notes).One of the most controversial aspects of the picture in the 19th century was that milk was spurting from Venus’s breast into Cupid’s open mouth. C. J. Cockburn, the Justice adjudicating Queen v. Hicklin in 1867, the case that provided the first legal standard for determining obscenity in both England and the USA, asked at the trial: ‘What can be more obscene than many pictures publicly exhibited, as the Venus in the Dulwich Gallery?’630 According to Mrs Jameson, the milk was painted away by Bourgeois. When it came back is not known, but Burchard, visiting the Gallery on 26 May 1939, saw two (or three?) rays of milk.631 But also in general this picture was considered ugly, and expecially the Venus in it, typically Flemish and typically Rubens (‘large and fat’).632 Comments include ‘naked country lass, fat and plump’ (annotation in a 1796 auction catalogue); ‘that gross, boisterous, and altogether unclassical manner’ and ‘the effect of the whole is extremely repulsive’ (Patmore 1824); ‘sadly devoid of those ideal forms of beauty and expression so indispensable to give value and interest to classic and poetical subjects’ (Smith 1829–42, in 1830); ‘the forms being in some parts even vulgar, as for instance the feet of Venus’ (Richter & Sparkes 1880). Nevertheless DPG285 was lent six times to the Royal Academy Schools to be copied (in 1816, 1831, 1837, 1840, 1851 and 1877): pupils could learn something here. We do not know of copies or influence in 19th-century London (as with DPG127, Van Dyck)....
