Snyers h: 57 w: 79,50 cm Provenance : Famille Wolff à New York dans la première partie du XXe siècle ; Puis par descendance ; Collection particulière, Paris Commentaire : Choux rouges, carottes ou cardons sont la signature de notre peintre qui nous surprend ici en offrant dans une corbeille bien plus que des légumes de saisons : des fleurs ! Et quelles fleurs puisque c'est un nuage raffiné de couleurs couronné de papillons qui est ici représenté ; boule de neige, pivoine, rose, iris ou tulipes sont peint par Pieter Snyers avec une délicatesse éblouissante. Si l'artiste développe l'art du portrait lors d'un séjour en Angleterre entre 1720 et 1726 (voir par exemple le lot 43 de notre vente) c'est bien dans de complexes compositions de fruits et légumes qu'il se révèle un grand maître.

    ÜBERFALL MIT REITERGEFECHT Öl auf Holz. 55 x 73 cm. Mittig auf Schimmel ein Monogramm. In teilvergoldetem Rahmen. In weiter hügeliger Landschaft, die links- und rechtsseitig durch einen hohen Baum als Repoussoir flankiert wird, ein breiter, bis zum Horizont schmäler werdender Weg mit einer ziehenden Wagenkarawane mit zahlreichen Figuren. Im Vordergrund der gerade stattfindende Überfall mit kämpfenden Reitern und Fußvolk, bei dem Gewehre, Lanzen und Degen eingesetzt werden. Linksseitig ein bereits zu Boden gegangenes Pferd sowie einige gestürzte und liegende Männer. Rechtsseitig, hinter einem Felsvorsprung, nähert sich eine kleine Armee zu Pferde mit Soldaten in Rüstung und Helm, rot geflaggte Standarten haltend. In der Mitte des Hintergrunds eine bewaldete Anhöhe, inmitten derer eine kleine Kirche in den Himmel ragt, während linksseitig eine kleine Mühle zu erkennen ist. Malerei in zurückhaltender Farbgebung, bei der jedoch die Pferde durch weiße Farbgebung und die Figuren durch rote Kleidungsstücke besonders hervorgehoben werden. Wohl ein Frühwerk des Künstlers, das noch den Einfluss von Sebastian Vrancx (1573-1647) erkennen lässt.

  • Peter Snyers, Still Life with Thistle and Nest
    Nov. 20, 2021

    Peter Snyers, Still Life with Thistle and Nest

    Est: €20,000 - €25,000

    RefMas121121 The thistle, with its spiky leaves, red flowers and thorn-covered buds dominates this large composition. Pieter Snyers emphasises the plant's unusual form through dramatic lighting, which accentuates the sharp contours of the leaves so that they appear to spread out over the painting like lightning. The cold blue-green of the leaves increases this dramatic effect, and the red, yellow and white flowers add splashes of colour to an otherwise monochrome composition. The artist obviously concentrated on botanical accuracy in his depiction of the plants, as shown by the wilted leaf with its pale ochre and brown edge. The drama shown by Snyders in the depiction of the plant corresponds to the scene that plays out within its protection - here, a bird has built its nest and laid eggs. However, the bird is not to be seen, and instead one of the eggs lies broken beside the nest and is being approached by a mouse from the side, and a snail is shown crawling down from above. Pieter Snyers is among the masters of the last great bloom of Dutch still life painting in the first half of the 18th century. He was born in Antwerp in 1681 and was taught under Alexander van Bredael, a member of the large family of painters based in Antwerp. Pieter Snyers became a member of the Guild of St. Luke in 1707, and later lead the Royal Art Academy in his home town. His oeuvre not only contains still lifes of all kinds, but also genre scenes and portraits, a number of which are thought to have been made during a stay in England. The forest still life was developed in the mid 17th century, at the latest with the paintings of Otto Marseus van Schrieck, who specialised in this genre and helped it to popularity. The little battles fought between reptiles, insects and small animals in the shade of forest plants were interpreted morally.

    Est: €500 - €800

    (Namen, 1540 ca. - Mechelen, 1624) Donna che fila la lana e bimbo Olio su tela, cm 105,5X80 Provenienza: Londra, Christie's, 14 aprile 1999, lotto 285 (come attribuito a Peter Snyers) Già attribuito a Peter Snyers (Anversa, 1681 - 1752), il dipinto è stato ricondotto possibilmente al catalogo di Jan Baptist Saive da Fred G. Meijer nel 1999. L'artista si formò probabilmente con Lambert Lombard e la sua prima opera documentata è del 1576 e riguardava la verniciatura di un crocifisso. Tra il 1590 e il 1594 è attestata la sua presenza a Brussel. La sua produzione conta dipinti di storia, ritratti ma anche scene di mercato sullo stile di Joachim Bueckelear e Pieter Aertsen molto apprezzate dalla committenza, come indicato dai registri dell'arciduca Ernst d'Austria che indicano la committenza nel 1594 di sei dipinti, raffigurante le stagioni e una scena di mercato.

SNYERS, PIETER (ZUGESCHRIEBEN) (1681 Antwerpen 1752) Marktszene. Öl auf Leinwand. 81 x 109,5 cm. Provenienz: Europäische Privatsammlung. Federvieh, Gemüse sowie Kühe und Pferde sind verteilt auf dem Marktplatz zu sehen. Die Gesichter der Figuren werden durch leuchtende Farben aus den Schatten der hereinbrechenden Dunkelheit hervorgehoben und lenken den Blick des Betrachters auf die Hauptszenen des Schauplatzes. Durch das Spiel aus Licht und Schatten gewinnt die Komposition an Lebendigkeit und setzt das Ende eines hektischen Markttages in Szene. Der Künstler dieser stimmungsvollen Darstellung eines Markttreibens ist bislang nicht eindeutig identifiziert. Stilistisch finden sich Elemente aus dem Oeuvre Alexander van Bredaels (1663 Antwerpen 1720) und besonders Pieter Snyers' (1681 Antwerpen 1752), der Schüler von Bredael war.
