    • Pieter Casteels I (1683 - 1749), Maria with Baby Jesus and John the Baptist in a Wooded Landscape
      Nov. 27, 2021

      Pieter Casteels I (1683 - 1749), Maria with Baby Jesus and John the Baptist in a Wooded Landscape

      Est: €4,000 - €6,000

      Pieter Casteels became master in Antwerp in 1629. His work has not been sufficiently researched. He was a member of the Casteels dynasty of painters, which produced many artists. Due to its signature PC INV, the painting is important for the establishment of his Œuvre. Maria is sitting with the child at a dark edge of the forest. She looks out of the picture at the viewer. Little John the Baptist approaches her. In the foreground, two putti play with the Lamb of God, the attribute of the Baptist. At the front right is a basket of fruits and grapes that can refer to the Eucharist. The gnarled, crippled, willow is painted virtuously; it stands out expressively against the evening sky. The influence of Peter Paul Rubens can be seen in the atmospheric landscape. In Flemish painting, a new picture theme was established at the beginning of the 17th century, showing Maria with the child, John the Baptist as a child, and playing putti together in a forest landscape. It was apparently derived from the subject of rest on the flight to Egypt, and made it possible to combine the relevance of religious themes with the Flemish preference for landscape painting in an idyllic and contemplative way.
