Adriaen Van der Werff (1659-1722), Dutch painter of biblical, classical and erotic paintings, belonged to a small group of artists who adopted the artistic ideals of the French Academy. He founded his own studio in Rotterdam at the age of only seventeen, later becoming the head of the Guild of Saint Luke. In 1696, Johann Wilhelm, Elector Palatine and his wife Anna Maria Luisa de'Medici ordered two paintings to be sent to Cosimo III de'Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (Anna Maria Luisa's father) in Florence. Houbraken considered him the greatest of the Dutch painters.

    Adriaen van de Werff (Kralingen 1659 - Rotterdam 1722)

    Est: €1,000 - €1,500

    Adriaen van de Werff (Kralingen 1659 - Rotterdam 1722) Ninfe ballano la musica del flauto dei pastori Olio su tavola 61 x 44,5 cm Il soggetto fu molto amato dal pittore e dal suo pubblico, tant'è che esistono più tele simili, divergenti per alcuni dettagli o nel numero dei personaggi. L'opera, in particolare, si rifà al dipinto conservato al Louvre di Parigi, inv./cat.nr. 1945, con il quale condivide quasi perfettamente anche le misure. Adriaen iniziò come giovane apprendista nelle botteghe di Cornelis Picolet e Eglon Hendrick van de Neer. Entrò nel 1676 nella Gilda di San Luca di Rotterdam, della quale fu reggente dal 1691 al 1695. Dal 1697 fu pittore di corte di Giovanni Guglielmo del Palatinato. Grazie alla sua pittura gentile nei soggetti e di squisita qualità, fu molto amato in vita tanto da essere conteso dai maggiori collezionisti e dalle corti principesche. Oggi le sue opere sono conservate nei più importanti musei del mondo. Adriaen van de Werff (Kralingen 1659 - Rotterdam 1722) Nymphs Dancing to the Music of Shepherds' Flutes Oil on panel 61 x 44,5 cm The subject was much loved by the painter and his audience, so much so that there are several similar paintings, differing in some details or in the number of characters. This artwork, in particular, is based on the painting kept at the Louvre in Paris, inv./cat. no. 1945, with which it shares almost the same dimensions.

Person: Anna von Kleve (1515 Düsseldorf - 1557 London) She was the fourth wife of the English King Henry VIII and was thus Queen of England from 6 January 1540 to 9 July 1540. Henry VIII planned another marriage for political reasons after the death of his third wife Jane Seymour. He chose Anne of Cleves because he liked her portrait painted by Hans Holbein, and signed the marriage contract without having met her personally. After their first meeting, he apparently felt disappointed in his expectations and had the marriage, concluded on 6 January 1540 in Greenwich, declared invalid six months later.

Person: Duke Edward 1. Seymour, Somerset (around 1500 - 1552 London) English statesman and brother of Queen Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII. After his sister's marriage to the king, he made a career at court, quickly receiving the titles of Viscount Beauchamp and Earl of Hertford and the offices of Chancellor of North Wales and Governor and Captain of Jersey. In the last years of Henry VIII, Seymour took part in military campaigns against France and Scotland, and after the latter's death became Lord Protector to the still minor King Edward VI. As regent of England, Seymour openly promoted Protestantism, which led to rebellions in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. His campaign against Scotland, an attempt to force the marriage of Edward VI to Mary Stuart, also a minor Scottish queen, ended in financial disaster for England. Increasingly unpopular among the nobility, Seymour was overthrown in December 1549 and imprisoned in the Tower of London for several months. Although he was released in May 1550 and re-admitted to the Crown Council, the nobility continued to distrust him. On 16 October 1551, at the instigation of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland, he was arrested for high treason and beheaded on Tower Hill on 22 January 1552.

Adriaen van der Werff is one of the protagonists of so-called Dutch Classicism, an era around 1700 in which artists liberated art from overly naturalistic or caricaturistic tendencies. He was often modelled on antique sculptures or the masters of the Italian Renaissance and early Baroque. Van der Werff is regarded as one of the Dutch artists of his time, who enjoyed the highest international reputation among his contemporaries and was admired and sought after by important collectors. Born near Rotterdam, van der Werff completes his training in the workshops of Cornelis Picolet and Eglon Hendrick van de Neer in Rotterdam and sets up his own business as a painter in 1676. From 1691 to 1695 he is head of the St Luke's Guild in Rotterdam and from 1697 he is court painter to John William of the Palatinate, with whom he has to spend six months a year. He is characterised above all by his small and medium-sized works, in which he applies meticulous attention to detail, refined sensuality, and a nuanced texture of flesh tones reminiscent of porcelain. His choice of subject matter also reflects the fashions of the time: initially he specialises in genre paintings, often with allegorical themes, and later in mythological, historical and biblical scenes, and portraits. The present painting, which was probably created at the court of Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz, fits precisely into this category: it shows Hercules at the crossroads, flanked by two beautiful women, Vice on the right and Virtue on the left. The iconographic theme, of which there are numerous examples in the Renaissance, goes back to a fable by the Greek philosopher Prodicus of Keos, who lived between the 5th and 4th centuries BC and was passed down to us through the memorabilia of Xenophon. In the fable, two women appear to the young Hercules, one of whom presents herself as virtue and the other as happiness (or corruption). Each of them explains to the young hero the merits of one lifestyle or the other and tries to persuade him to follow the appropriate path. Adriaen van der Werff's work is clearly inspired by sculptures from the Greco-Roman period; the figure of Hercules in particular is reminiscent of the Belvedere torso, which was known from numerous engravings from this period or from copies and casts.

Commentaire : C'est en amoureux de l'Antiquité qu'Adriaen van der Werff a peint le modèle de ce portrait. Il est représenté dehors dans un parc, portant une luxueuse chemise de satin mordoré. Le côté droit offre une ouverture au-delà des rosiers, vers la statue du Faune aux cymbales et un ciel du soir couvert de nuages. Ce portrait est caractéristique de la manière d'Adriaen van der Werff. Les hommes, accoudés sur un élément architectural, sont généralement placés sur la gauche de la composition, laissant apparaître une vue dégagée sur un élément de décor antiquisant. Le peintre est particulièrement habile dans la représentation des tissus : chacun des plis du costume démontre la qualité de l'étoffe et toute sa délicatesse. L'artiste néerlandais est rapidement reconnu pour ses portraits puisque qu'après être devenu doyen de la guilde de Saint-Luc de Rotterdam, confrérie de peintres indiscutée, il est nommé en 1696 peintre de cour à Düsseldorf, avant d'y être anobli par l'électeur palatin.

    Est: £3,000 - £5,000

    Adriaen van der Werff, Dutch 1659-1722- Portrait of Adriaen Paets, half-length, seated in a landscape, with his right arm resting on a carpet; oil on canvas, 49.5 x 40 cm. Provenance: The estate of the late designer Anthony Powell. Literature: O. Ydema, 'Carpets and Their Datings in Netherlandish Paintings, 1540-1700', Antique Collectors' Club, 1999, p.107, fig.110 (illustrated) (listed as whereabouts unknown). Note: Adriaen Paets (1631-86) was a director of the Rotterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company. His portrait was also painted by Adriaen van der Werff’s younger brother and principal studio assistant Pieter van der Werff (1695-1722) as part of a series of portraits of the directors of the Rotterdam Chamber of the Company. The portrait is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam [SK-A-4511], https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/collectie/SK-A-4511. The present work is certainly familiar with Van der Werff's oeuvre: a half-length figure, with one arm leaning, and with a landscape beyond (see, for example, the Portrait of Cornelis Gerard Fagel of 1694 in the Goltziusmuseum, Venlo, or the Portrait of a gentleman in a silk gown of 1685 in the National Gallery, London). Characteristic also is the artist's concentration on the rendition of texture and surface, which strongly connects his style with the Leiden fijnschilders, and besides possesses a distinctive elegance that is drawn not only from the fine fabrics and gracefully mannered pose of the sitter, as well as from the classical allusion of the statue in the background that is also closely reminiscent of his portraiture. Significant emphasis is placed on the sitter’s wealth and social status, conveyed through his nonchalant pose as well as the items around him, including the luxurious carpet on which the gentleman leans. Van der Werff completed a number of significant commissions for high-profile sitters throughout northern Europe, including John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough; William III and Mary II (with Étienne-Jehandier Desrochers); and Johann Wilhelm II, Elector Palatinate. For a comparable work with similar dimensions, see ‘Portrait of a Man in a Quilted Gown’, National Gallery, London [no.NG1660]. The present work was presumably painted in around 1680-90.
