      Andries de Coninck

      Est: €18,000 - €25,000

      Probably born in Antwerp circa 1625?1659 Antwerp A ?Pronkstilleven?: a Sumptuous Still Life of a Lobster, a Pie and Various Fruits in Blue and White bowls and on Pewter Plates, Together with a Basket of Bread, a Wine Glass, a Gilt Goblet, a Pewter Flagon, Oysters and a Fig on a Table Draped with a Red Velvet Cloth Oil on canvas 113.5 by 159 cm. This rather grand and eloborate still life is by a very rare Flemish painter, Andries de Coninck and dates from the middle of the 17th century, the 1650s. There are only four other monumental pronk still lifes known by this painter. All show a similar compositional scheme: an elaborate still life on a draped table with a window opening out to a landscape on the left. In 1643 De Coninck was inscribed as a pupil of Jan Thomas van Yperen (1617? 1678) in the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp. In 1645 De Coninck become a Master in the Antwerp Guild as a painter; he was also inscribed as an art dealer. De Conick died fairly young, he was probably not even 35 years old. That is probably the reason why his paintings are so rare, as he did not get a chance to paint a lot. Another reason could be that he eventually stopped painting to concentrate solely on his business as an art dealer: just before his death, in the Guild lists of the year 1658/1659 he is only listed as an art dealer and no longer as a painter. He seems to have been strongly influenced by the works of Jan Davidsz. de Heem (1606?1684), who was one of the most important still life painters of the 17th century in the Low Countries. Following his early years in Leiden De Heem is documented from 1636 in Antwerp. He probably returned to his birthplace Utrecht in the early 1660s, but left again for Antwerp in 1672. In the 1640s de Heem was at his best, producing magnificent, monumental luxury still lifes that strongly influenced not only Andries de Coninck, but also De Coninck?s brother?in?law Andries Benedetti. These ostentatious parade still lifes show next to fruits also luxurious objects: Chinese Wan?li porcelain, Venetian glassware, silver plates and gilt goblets. They were fashionable around the middle of the 17th century, during the 1640s and 1650s, when they were painted both in Flanders and in Holland, in Antwerp, Amsterdam and Utrecht. Not only did they reflect the status of their owners, they also held a moral lesson, warning again the emptiness of wealth and possessions. Andries de Coninck?s ambitious, sumptuous still lifes were strongly influenced by those of the early 1640s by De Heem, but also by the early paintings of Andries Benedetti. It is actually very hard to differentiate the artistic production of both brothers?in?law. Fred Meijer of the RKD has kindly confirmed the attribution to De Coninck and suggests a comparison to another ?pronkstilleven? formerly in the collection of The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles which was offered for sale at Sotheby?s New York, 26 January 2007, lot 132 (and sold for $504,000). Provenance: Sale, London, Sotheby?s, 10 April 2003, lot 52.

      Est: £30,000 - £50,000

      Andries de Coninck (d. 1659 Antwerp) Still life of a lobster, a pie and various fruits in blue and white bowls and on pewter plates, together with a basket of bread, a wine glass, gilt goblet, pewter flagon, oysters and a fig on a table draped with a red velvet cloth, oil on canvas, 113.5 x 159cm (443/4 x 621/2in) Provenance Sotheby's London, Old Master Paintings, 10th April 2003, Lot 52; Where purchased by the present owner. Andries de Coninck is mentioned in the Antwerp guild records of 1643-44 where he is listed as an apprentice as both schilder (painter) and handelaer (dealer) and he became a master of the guild in 1645/46. It may well be that he eventually discarded painting and concentrated solely on dealing, being listed in the 1658/59 guild records solely as koopman (dealer). His wife, Christina Benedetti, was probably a sister of Andries Benedetti (active 1636-1650) whose large still lifes are sometimes difficult to distinguish from those by de Coninck. Their main inspiration appears to have been the large luxury still lifes that Jan Davidsz. de Heem painted during the early 1640s. A similar composition was sold at Sotheby's New York, Important Old Master Paintings and European Works of Art, 26th January 2007, Lot 132 on behalf of the J. Paul Getty Museum for $504,000. There are only four known signed works, two of which are signed Coninck and the other two signed Koninck. We are grateful to Fred G. Meijer for confirming the attribution to de Coninck (through private correspondence with present owner).
