Description

Jan van Kessel (1626 - Antwerp - 1679), Paradise Earth, signed and dated 1668, oil on canvas 43 x 56.5 cm. Jan van Kessel is the grandson of Jan Bruegel the Elder. He is the newest of Jan Bruegel the Younger and David Teniers the youngster. At the age of 22, Téniers was master of the Antwerp gilde. In 1637, he married Anna Breughel and joined the lineage of the most prestigious dynasty of Flemish painters. In 1651, he was a court painter of Archduke Leopold-Guillaume, governor of the Netherlands. His fame and inventiveness made him one of the greatest artists of the 17th century. The gallant scene (here with his second wife Isabelle de Fren) illustrates the spirit of libertinism long before 18th century French painters such as Boucher or Fragonard. With an amused and tender look, Teniers gives us a moment of intimacy. The world's greatest museums (Vienna, London, Madrid, Paris, Brussels?) have his works.
