Jacobus Biltius, Trompe-l'œil with Hares, Hunting Equipment and a Hunting Dog against a White Wall
Est: €35,000 - €45,000
Signed and dated lower left: J : Biltius. fecit / A. 1672 Jacobus Biltius specialised in still lifes of game and is today best known for his trompe-l'œils, which often depict hunting equipment. Biltius was born in The Hague and worked in Amsterdam, Maastricht, Antwerp, Leeuwarden(?) and Bergen op Zoom. In 1660 he joined the Confrerie Pictura in The Hague, an artists‘ association founded in 1656 by a group of artists who were dissatisfied with the city's painters' guild. Around 1672/73 he became a member of the Guild of St Luke in Antwerp. His son Cornelis continued to produce trompe-l'œil paintings in a similar style, particularly in the German cities of Bonn and Cologne. The tromp-l'œil genre came into vogue when artists such as Philips Angel, Jacobus and Cornelis Biltius and Johannes and Antonius Leemans began to utilise the possibilities of this newly developed genre. The present pair of paintings is an outstanding example of Biltius' pioneering achievement in creating the illusion of three-dimensional objects. The careful rendering of various textures, close attention to the play of light and the placement of shadows are among the most important factors in creating such an illusion and are marvellously illustrated in this pair of hunting still lifes. Pendant to lot 2060.

JACOB BILTIUS (1633-1681)
Est: €8,000 - €12,000
Hunting still life with a hare, hunting horn, powder canisters and pistols. Canvas. Ca. 1670. Traces of a signature in orange paint underneath in the middle ‘… Biltius…’. Dated on a label on the ebony frame 1651, stylistically more likely originating from the 1670s. Wear marks in the lower part. Jacob or Jacobus Biltius was a Dutch still-life painter originally from The Hague who worked in various places including The Hague, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Antwerp, Leeuwarden and Bergen op Zoom. He was known for his game still lifes, kitchen still lifes and trompe-l'oeil still lifes with birds. By the middle of the 17th century, hunting still lifes had become very popular in the Dutch Republic. As an increasing number of Dutch people had become prosperous, they wished to display in their sumptuous country houses hunting still lifes, which expressed their high social status. Although the frame is dated 1651, this painting most likely originates from the 1670s, when Biltius painted game still lifes more related to the Flemish tradition as he was living in Antwerp by that time. A very similar game still live was sold at Christie’s Amsterdam in 1997, 19.02.1997, lot 38. The background of this piece is painted less delicately than the present piece in which the details of the weaponry and the horns in the background are absolutely stunning. Description FR Nature morte de chasse avec lièvre, cor de chasse, boîtes à poudre et pistolets. Toile. Traces de signature à la peinture orange en dessous au milieu '... Biltius...'. Daté sur une étiquette sur le cadre en ébène 1651, stylistiquement plus probablement à situer dans les années 1670. Traces d'usure dans la partie inférieure. Jacob ou Jacobus Biltius était un peintre hollandais de natures mortes originaire de La Haye qui a travaillé dans divers endroits, notamment à La Haye, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Anvers, Leeuwarden et Bergen op Zoom. Il était célèbre pour ses natures mortes de gibier, ses natures mortes de cuisine et ses natures mortes en trompe-l'œil avec des oiseaux. Au milieu du 18ème siècle, les natures mortes de chasse étaient devenues très populaires dans la République néerlandaise. De plus en plus de Hollandais étant devenus prospères, ils souhaitaient exposer dans leurs somptueuses maisons de campagne des natures mortes de chasse, exprimant ainsi leur statut social élevé, même si les bourgeois hollandais n'étaient pas autorisés à chasser à moins d'appartenir à la noblesse. Bien que le cadre soit daté de 1651, ce tableau date plutôt des années 1670, époque à laquelle Biltius peignait des natures mortes de gibier plus proches de la tradition flamande, puisqu'il vivait alors à Anvers. Une nature morte de gibier très similaire a été vendue chez Christie's Amsterdam en 1997, 19.02.1997, lot 38. L'arrière-plan de cette toile est peint de manière moins délicate que celle-ci où les détails de l'armement à l'arrière-plan sont absolument stupéfiants. Beschrijving NL Jachtstilleven met haas, jachthoorn, kruitbussen en pistolen. Olie op doek. Sporen van een signatuur in oranje verf onder in het midden '... Biltius...'. Gedateerd op een etiket op de ebbenhouten lijst 1651, stilistisch waarschijnlijker afkomstig uit de jaren 1670. Slijtagesporen in het onderste gedeelte. Jacob of Jacobus Biltius was een oorspronkelijk uit Den Haag afkomstige Nederlandse stillevenschilder die onder meer in Den Haag, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Antwerpen, Leeuwarden en Bergen op Zoom heeft gewerkt. Hij was bekend om zijn wildstillevens, keukenstillevens en trompe-l'œil stillevens met vogels. In het midden van de 17de eeuw waren jachtstillevens erg populair geworden in de Nederlandse Republiek. Omdat steeds meer Nederlanders welvarend waren geworden, wilden zij in hun weelderige buitenhuizen jachtstillevens tentoonstellen, die uitdrukking gaven aan hun hoge sociale status, ook al mochten Nederlandse burgers alleen jagen als zij tot de adel behoorden. Hoewel de lijst is gedateerd 1651, stamt dit schilderij waarschijnlijk uit de jaren 1670, toen Biltius, die toen al in Antwerpen woonde, jachtstillevens schilderde die meer verwant waren aan de Vlaamse traditie. Een zeer vergelijkbaar jachtstilleven werd verkocht bij Christie's Amsterdam in 1997, 19.02.1997, lot 38. De achtergrond van dit stuk is minder delicaat geschilderd dan het huidige stuk, waarin de details van het wapentuig op de achtergrond absoluut verbluffend zijn.

CertificateWalther Bernt, Munich, 20.8.1968, as Cornelis Biltius (the certificate as a copy).Jacob Biltius was active in The Hague, Amsterdam, Maastricht and Antwerp and almost exclusively painted still lifes, usually with dead fowl or hunting equipment. He often painted his works in trompe l'oeil manner, in which the items appear at first glance to have been hung on a nail before a whitewashed wall. The present work is a fine example of this style. Biltius' son and pupil Cornelis successfully continued in the tradition of his father.We would like to thank Fred Meijer of the RKD, The Hague, for referencing Jacob Biltius.

NOTE Biltius created numerous trompe l'oeil compositions dated between 1663 and 1677, which continue to be the pictures for which he is best known. This genre was developed shortly after artists such as Philips Angel, Cornelis Biltius and the Leemans, and Jacobus Biltius, began exploiting the possibilities of these recently developed forms. These two pictures are wonderful examples of Biltius' pioneering achievements in creating the illusion of three dimensional objects. The careful depiction of varying textures and close attention to the effect of light and placement of shadows are among the most important factors in creating such an illusion, and are all admirably exemplified in this pair of dead game pieces. A trompe l'oeil still life of weaponry by Biltius dated to the same year was in the collection of Bill Blass, sold in these rooms on January 22, 2004, lot 22 for $344,000.

Holl„ndische Malerei des 17. Jahrhunderts aus den Sammlungen des Frsten von Lichtenstein und aus Schweizer Besitz, 14 June-27 September 1987, nos. 16 and 17. NOTES Probably related to the still life artist Cornelis Biltius, Jacobus was born in the Hague, where he remained until 1660. After living in Maastricht, he became a member of the Antwerp guild of painters in 1672. He died in Bergen-op-Zoom in 1681. Throughout his career, Biltius specialised in the execution of still lifes, often depicting dead game, with, as here, a trompe l'oeil effect of showing the subject hanging from a nail against a pale or neutral background, thus emphasising their three-dimensionality. In this pair, he uses the added witty conceit of painting frames into the compositions.
