Jan Miel ( 1599- 1663 ) - Hunters Resting - 17th Century Flemish Oil Painting

c. 1650

About the Item

Attributed/Close circle: Jan Miel (Flemish, 1599- 1663) A Hunting Party resting by Ruins • Oil on canvas, relined, ca. 52 x 70 cm • Later Frame, ca. 70 x 87 cm • Unsigned Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Jan Miel (1599 in Beveren-Waas, Belgium – April 1664 in Turin, Italy) was a Flemish painter and engraver who was active in Italy. He joined the fashionable group of Dutch and Flemish genre painters in Rome who are referred to as the 'Bamboccianti' and were known for their scenes depicting the lower classes in Rome. He then moved on painted historical subject matters in a classical manner. The painting on offer depicts a well painted hunting party with horses and hounds, resting by some impressing ruins. Jan Miel is well known to have painted various variations on this subject matter. Verso there is the stenciled Christie's Inventory number - According to Christie's London, this painting was owned by the dealer William Sabin (Sabin Galleries Ltd) and sold as Lot 34 on the 18th of December 1964 in London, described as ‘ J. Miel ‘, to the collector B. Cohen for 57 guineas. The painting resurfaces newly framed in 2020, when I purchased the painting out of a deceased Estate in Bern, Switzerland. The RKD (The Netherlands Institute for Art History) has, based on photographs, dated the painting to the 17th century. A well respected Swiss auction house seconded that dating. The old, handwoven canvas of painting has been relined (post 1964), remounted on the original stretcher and framed in a 20th century antique style wood frame, which presents very well. Considering the close compositional analogy to other, well-known works by Jan Miel, it's style and quality, the age of materials and of course the Christie's provenance, I offer for this fine - alas unsigned - painting a somewhat loose attribution to the 17th century Flemish painter Jan Miel himself and a firm attribution to Jan Miels closer 17th century circle. With some further research/expertise, a firm attribution to Jan Miel (1599- 1663) might become possible. This however, will be the future owner's quest.
