An Architectural Fantasy Print
An Architectural
Fantasy Print
£20.000
This painting, signed on one of the stones to the left of the tree, is one of the most varied of van der Heyden's architectural fantasies. The dating to the late 1660s is confirmed by the costume of the figures, which may have been painted by Adriaen van de Velde (1636
- 1672). The architectural details appear to be largely imaginary, though they may incorporate features from real buildings. The classical stone gateway with its decoration of Corinthian pilasters, which is highlighted by the cloud formation in the sky, left of centre, may be intended as a reminiscence of one of the 17th-century gates of Amsterdam, although it does not resemble any of them closely. It is contrasted with the Gothic house of brick in the foreground & the dying tree. A new growth of trees & foliage covers the curved town wall on the right.

An Astrologer Print
An Astrologer Print
£20.000
The celestial globe on the table in the background & the open book on the right suggest that the man wearing a scholar's cap & gown is an astrologer. The illustration of a hand in the book may refer to palmistry. According to a widespread belief in the 17th century the combination of astrology & palmistry could be used to foretell a person's fate. However, aware of the ultimate futility of his efforts, the scholar's slumped pose & absent gaze indicate a melancholic state of mind. As such his depiction exists within a tradition of images of scholars going back to Dürer (1471
- 1528), in which the subjects are shown contemplating the futility of their studies in view of the inevitability of their mortality.

An Elderly Couple

£20.000
The only known double portrait by Gossaert. The sitters have not been identified. On the badge on the man's hat a young naked couple with a cornucopia are depicted, clearly providing a contrast with the age of the subjects, & perhaps an ironic comment on their present state. ...

An Architectural Fantasy Print

The fountain in the foreground is surmounted by a statue of Hercules fighting Hydra. Two of the other statues may represent Mercury and Minerva. The elegantly dressed figures are by another painter, perhaps Jan Olis (about 1610 - 1676) or Anthonie Palamedesz. (1601 - 1673). This type of finely executed painting, representing a fanciful architectural setting, carefully constructed according to perspectival rules and populated with very elegantly dressed people, was probably painted for aristocratic and courtly patrons connected with the Court of Orange in the Netherlands. Van Delen painted imaginary architecture, particularly church interiors and palaces, in a style influenced by that of Hendrick van Steenwyck the Younger (died 1649).
