Hendrick Danckerts Netherlands 1625 - 1680 Amsterdam, attributed Allegory of Love or Antony and Cleopatra Oil on canvas, relined 33 x 21 cm, with frame 48.5 x 37 cm Expert opinion by Dr. Walther Bernt, Munich 1977 As a painter and engraver of the Dutch Golden Age, Hendrick Danckerts was particularly known for his architecture in landscapes. His oeuvre is strongly influenced by his stay in Italy for several years, and this is reflected in the Italian landscapes and residences he depicted. He spent most of his career in London, England. Particularly impressive are the tall buildings with sculptural decoration, such as here the tall porphyry columns of the entrance to an antique-style building on the left or the grey columns of the colonnades with a crowning balustrade in the background. The tall trees with dense canopies are also typical, with a slender young tree often framing the action and at the same time introducing the viewer to the composition. Their gaze is thus drawn to the small-format figure composition with robes in luminous colouring. Depicted is a couple, a man in antique military dress and a woman in a loose long robe. Behind them, in the penumbra, a child or servant is shown. In the background, other female figures and warriors are depicted between the porphyry columns. This group of figures could be Mars and Venus; however, it is more likely that Venus, the goddess of love, is shown above the balcony on a cloud structure. Depicted as a nude, she is reclining on the clouds and looking down at Cupid, the winged putto, who is currently aiming a bow and arrow at the couple. Therefore, the two figures must be lovers. This is also emphasised by the dog running down the stairs in front of them, a typical symbol of fidelity. It could be the allegory of love; however, an identification with a pair of lovers with a tragic fate also seems conclusive, namely the depiction of the Roman general Marcus Antonius and the Egyptian queen Cleopatra, particularly inspired by the Roman drama "Antonius and Cleopatra" completed by William Shakespeare around 1606/07. The romanticising landscape with the ominous cloud formations could indicate this as well.

HENDRIK DANCKERTS C.1625-C.1680
Est: £30,000 - £40,000
A VIEW OF ST JAMES'S AND THE GARDENS OVERLOOKING ST JAMES'S PARK FROM THE SOUTH WEST measurements note 57 by 104 cm., 22½ by 41 in. oil on canvas PROVENANCE Hanover Trust, Brook Street, London, by 1968 LITERATURE Aileen Ribeiro, Fashion and Fiction: Dress in Art and Literature in Stuart England, 2005, pp.252-4 NOTE This magnificent view of St James's Palace dates from circa 1677-8. The Palace was built by Henry VIII, and the Tudor gateway, with its octagonal towers and lantern, can be seen on the left; it is the only surviving part of the original building. The Palace was extensively refurbished by Charles II and became the principle residence of the Duke of York. After the fire of 1698 which destroyed Whitehall, St James's became the main royal residence, and Queen Anne commissioned Wren to design a suite of state apartments. St James's Park, which is behind the wall of the palace gardens, was laid out by Charles II in the style of Andre le Notre, and beyond the park in the distance the artist gives us a glimpse of Inigo Jones's Banqueting House, built in 1622 for James I, and the only part of Whitehall Palace to escape the Fire of London. Hendrik Danckerts was a landscape painter and engraver, born to a Catholic family, probably in The Hague. The first record of Hendrick's presence in England was when he married 'Theodosia Hugh's of Staffordshire' in October 1664, in a ceremony witnessed by his brother in St James's Chapel, London. He revisited the Netherlands at least once, in 1670, but otherwise remained based in England until the increasing threat to Catholics and the Popish Plot drove him back to Holland c.1679. In 1669 Samuel Pepys commissioned four panels for his dining-room from Danckerts, the 'famous lanskip painter', declaring them 'mighty pretty'. Danckerts also provided many paintings for the nobility, including Henry Herbert, later first duke of Beaufort, the Duke of St Albans, and the Earls of Bedford, Radnor, and Berkeley. Danckerts's most important patron, however, was Charles II, who in 1665--7, commissioned some large classical landscapes and a view of the recently completed canal works at Hampton Court. Fifteen of these works are still in the Royal Collection, and one was painted on a sliding panel which covered a portrait of the naked Nell Gwyn. Sir Peter Lely owned at least three of Danckerts's landscapes when he died in 1680, and The British Museum holds six of his drawings.

Henry Danckerts (c.1625-c.1680)
Est: $43,800 - $73,000
View of St. James's Palace and the gardens, from the south-west with figures promenading oil on canvas 221/2 x 41 in. (57.2 x 104 cm.) NOTES This view of St. James's Palace is taken from the south-west, showing the garden side overlooking St. James's Park, a viewpoint later adopted and drawn by Leonard Knyff, whose work was engraved by Kip and others. King Henry VIII, who enjoyed hunting in the land stretching from St. James's Park to Marylebone and Hampstead, built a manor house on the site of a medieval leper hospital. During the reign of King Charles II, the palace was extensively redecorated and refurnished and it became the prinicpal residence of the Duke of York and his court. After the 1698 fire which destroyed Whitehall Palace, St. James's Palace became the main royal residence and Queen Anne brought in Christopher Wren to design a suite of state apartments. The building visible through the trees on the right is the Banqueting House, the only completed part of Inigo Jones's and John Webb's plans for the huge palace that King James I intended to build at Whitehall. The Banqueting House, one of the most sophisticated of Jones's classical buildings, opened with a performance of Ben Jonson's 'Masque of Anglers'. King Charles I commissioned Rubens to paint the ceiling which celebrated the attributes of wise kingship. On 30 January 1649, King Charles I walked for the last time across the Banqueting House, and through a window to the scaffold where he was beheaded. King Charles II celebrated his Restoration to the throne at the Banqeting House in 1660. The fire of 1698 marked the end of the ceremonial significance of the Banqueting House and Wren converted it into the Chapel Royal. Danckerts was born in the Hague. Following a visit to Italy, he came to England in 1658 where he became a leading painter of topographical views. It is known that King Charles II commissioned the artist to 'paint all the sea-ports in England and Wales; as also the Royal Palaces; which he performed admirably well'. We are grateful to Valerie Cummings for dating the costumes to about 1677-78, a year or so before Henry Danckerts left England to return to Holland at the time of the Popish plot.
