    • Attributed to Michiel van der Voort the Elder (1667-1737)
      Jun. 27, 2024

      Attributed to Michiel van der Voort the Elder (1667-1737)

      Est: €7,500 - €9,000

      Attributed to Michiel van der Voort the Elder (1667-1737), Carved wood, painted over with plaster paint, both figures sculpted with lifted arms and enveloped in drapery, above stylised twisting clouds, on later pedestals. Not signed.Both figures can be attributed to the Flemish sculptor Michiel van der Voort the Elder (1667-1737). Born in Antwerp, Van der Voort was trained in one of the epicentres of Baroque splendour, built up by an older generations of powerhouses such as Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), François Duquesnoy (1597-1643) and Pieter Scheemaeckers I (1640-1714), whose exuberant designs shaped his work. Shortly after 1690, he would stay in Rome as part of his education, where he – like his fellow countrymen – came into contact with the sculpted oeuvre of Michelangelo and Bernini. Expats usually stick together abroad, and roughly between 1620 and 1720, a great number of  these ‘Fiamminghi a Roma’ joined the society of the ‘Bentvueghels’ or ‘Schildersbent’. Its members, mostly artists from the Low Countries, would give each other nicknames and would meet at different places in Rome to organize festive initiation rituals and hold discourses about numerous topics. Van der Voort was blessed with the flattering Dutch alias of ‘Welgemaeckt’, which means ‘well-made’.Back in Antwerp in the 1690s he gathered a number of pupils and was given many important religious commissions for church interiors and monuments, although he would occasionally take on secular projects, such as busts and allegorical sculptures. The two winged putti in this auction seem to belong to the first category, although we unfortunately do not know for whom they were produced. In their poses and execution, they are closely related to Van der Voort’s most famous works: the carved wooden pulpits that are now located in the cathedrals of Antwerp and Mechelen. Both actually include very similar winged putti that hover near or above the canopy of the structures. In fact, the Mechelen pulpit was made around the same year as our two putti, and these two figures do share in the same playful quality that characterises Van der Voort’s monumental masterpiece. , Two winged putti, ca. 1720, Antwerp, Both: H 114 cm, pedestals: H 96,5 cm and H 80,5 cm, Provenance: Established by the Antwerp antiques dealer and expert E. Golbert-Zagrai in an expertise report from 1995 as “a pair of Antwerp angels by Michiel van der Voort the Elder (1667-1737)” ("een paar Antwerpse engelen van de hand van Michiel van der Voort den oude (1667-1737)"),
