Abstract (en)

Attributes a recently discovered gallery picture (private collection) to a follower of Jan Brueghel I and Frans Francken II, suggesting that the work is a copy after a lost original by the two Antwerp masters, and dating the painting to ca.1618-1620. Presents a brief survey of the genre of gallery paintings and the artists who developed the subject in the first decades of the 17th c. in Antwerp. Discusses Francken and Brueghel's involvement with kunstkamer paintings, and mentions the work of Brueghel's son Jan II, who frequently copied his father's pictures. Identifies several of the pictures represented in the work under discussion, showing that they fall into three categories: 16th c. Italian, 16th c. Netherlandish, and Antwerp works from ca.1615-1620. Associates the original, now lost, painting with another, Fama Praising Pictura to a Patron of the Arts (a copy of which survives at Rohrau, Schloss Rohrau), and suggests that the two may have been pendants, executed on the occasion of the adoption of a new charter and a new chamber emblem by the Antwerp chamber of rhetoric "De Violieren," of which both artists were members.
