Workshop of Jan Brueghel II A garland surrounding the Virgin and Child
About the Item
Oil on copper
In the delicate masterpiece crafted by the workshop of Jan Brueghel the Younger, a lush garland of flowers envelops the serene figure of the Virgin and Child, creating a tableau of exquisite beauty and devotion. Within this floral embrace, a myriad of blossoms, each meticulously rendered in vibrant hues, weaves a tapestry of color and texture, showcasing nature's abundant bounty.
Roses, tulips, and an array of blooms, their petals unfurling in a symphony of shapes and sizes, form a celestial canopy around the central figures of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus. The Virgin, adorned in regal attire of blue and red, her gentle countenance crowned with grace, cradles the Christ child in her arms. Baby Jesus, his tiny hand raised in blessing, emanates an aura of divine innocence and purity.
As the son of Jan Brueghel the Elder and grandson of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jan Brueghel the Younger inherited a rich artistic legacy, carrying forward the tradition of his forebears with skill and reverence. Within his father's workshop, he honed his craft, painting subjects that echoed the masterful compositions of his predecessors.
Among Jan Brueghel the Younger's notable contributions to the art world are his exquisite garland paintings, a genre pioneered by his father. These floral masterpieces, often featuring devotional images or portraits at their center, reflect the influence of contemporaries such as Daniel Seghers. Indeed, in this painting, the delicate interplay between the celestial figures and the vibrant floral tapestry speaks to the enduring legacy of devotion and veneration that inspired such works in the Habsburg Netherlands.
Through the delicate brushwork of the workshop of Jan Brueghel the Younger, we are transported to a realm where the earthly and the divine converge in a harmonious celebration of beauty and faith, inviting us to contemplate the timeless mysteries of love and devotion.

- De Wit Flowers Still life Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Cupids ArtLocated in Riva del Garda, ITJacob De Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754) attributable/ workshop Pair of Cupids with Garland of Flowers Oil on canvas 91 x 103 cm. - Framed 104 x 115 cm. Provenance: Christie's (London, Old master Painting 12.12.1996) lot 82 This magnificent composition depicts two cupids holding a garland of flowers, placed on a fine architecture with bas-reliefs and masks, presumably the top of a fountain. One of the two cupids sympathetically holds a part of it with his hands, while his head turns towards the viewer; the second cupid, on the other hand, must have clumsily broken the thread holding its end, and is sitting sullenly with a torch and a tear streaking his chubby cheek. The work, given its stylistic features and compositional taste, can be attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754), or to an artist from his workshop, with his typical triumphal and opulent style, which reveals clear influences from Rubens and Van Dijck, but also from Gerard de Lairesse...Category
