(Antwerp 1614–1672) A farmyard scene, oil on canvas, 96.5 x 125 cm, framed Provenance: with Galerie Leger, London & Brussels, 1953; where acquired by the grandfather of the present owner Exhibited: Zurich, Kunsthaus Zürich - Musée des Beaux-Arts, on loan between 1975–1988; Winterthur, Museum Stiftung Jakob Briner, on loan between 1990–1991 We are grateful to Fred Meijer for suggesting the attribution on the basis of a photograph. With its carefully arranged still life of fresh vegetables in the foreground of the composition, the present work relates to a painting offered in these rooms in 2013 (see sale, Dorotheum, Vienna, 15 October 2013, lot 844). The scene of the 2013 painting is set on a similar southern countryside farm, lit by comparable warm and gentle Mediterranean sunlight. Abraham Willemsen was born in Antwerp in 1614. In 1627/28 he became a pupil of Guilliam Anthoni (Antonissens) and is recorded in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke, later becoming elected as dean in 1645. He was recorded in Paris the same year. It is assumed that he operated a large workshop of his own to supply the export market, notably to Spain, where many of his paintings can still be found. Later falling into obscurity, the painter was virtually unknown until the discovery in the early 1990s of a painting signed in full. Since then, his oeuvre has gradually been reconstituted.

(Antwerp 1614–1672) The Adoration of the Shepherds, oil on copper, 69.5 x 88 cm, framed We are grateful to Bert Schepers of the Centrum Rubenianum, Antwerp, for endorsing the attribution of the present painting to Abraham Willemsens on the basis of a photograph and for his kind assistance in cataloguing this lot. This charming scene relates closely to an engraving dated 1620 by Lucas Vorsterman I (1595–1675) after the Adoration of the Shepherds by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) conserved in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen (inv. no. 1803.6). Willemsens has expanded the composition on the right to include the dog taken from another print by Vosterman after the Adoration of the Shepherds conserved in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille (inv. no. BA 102). Copies of Rubens’ oil sketches and paintings were in continuous demand by his contemporaries and appear in the stock lists of a number of prominent seventeenth-century art dealers, including the celebrated dealers Guillam Forchondt and Matthijs Musson. Willemsens, Victor Wolfvoet II, Willem van Herp, among others, produced the majority of such copies for this lucrative branch of the Antwerp art market and helped spread the Flemish Baroque style internationally. Indeed, the individual styles of Willemsens and Van Herp are often confused with one another, a problem further complicated by their occasional collaboration, with Willemsens adding some figures to Van Herp’s paintings and vice versa. Abraham Willemsen was born in Antwerp in 1614. In 1627/28 he became a pupil of Guilliam Anthoni (Antonissens) and is recorded in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke, later becoming elected as dean there in 1645. He was recorded in Paris the same year. It is assumed that he operated a large workshop of his own to supply the export market, notably in Spain, where many of his paintings can still be found.

Jan Brueghel I Circle (Brussels, 1568 - Antwerp, 1625)
Est: €12,000 - €15,000
Jan Brueghel I Circle (Brussels, 1568 - Antwerp, 1625) “Vertumnus and Pomona” Oil on copper. 73 x 93,5 cm. As the RKD indicates for the cataloguing of the work, our copper could be attributed to more than one master. Dr Angela Jager, Curator of the RKD, proposes to catalogue the landscape in the painting as "follower of Jan Brueghel I", while the attribution of the human figures remains uncertain. Besides, the work "Garden with Vertumnus and Pomona" was auctioned at Christie's London auction on 12/12/1975, as a Jan van Balen and Jan van Kessel copper, both disciples of Jan Brueghel, father and son, with whom they collaborated on numerous occasions (Jan van Kessel was, in fact, the grandson of Jan Brueghel the Elder on his mother's side). This copper has an enormous resemblance to ours, since the composition is very similar, as it can be seen in the attached image. The figure group of Vertumnus and Pomona in our painting, without Cupid, is comparable to that in a copper attributed to Frans Wouters, which was auctioned at Christie's in Paris on 30/3/2015 (https://rkd.nl/explore/images/265477). Por lo que al tema se refiere, nuestra pintura representa Vertumno y Pomona, dioses de la mitología romana. Vertumno, dios romano de origen etrusco del cambio y la mutación de la vegetación durante el transcurso de las estaciones; y Pomona, diosa de la fruta y de los árboles frutales y jardines, cuyos atributos principales son la hoz o el cuchillo de podar, que sujeta con su mano en nuestro cuadro. Pomona rechazaba cualquier atención masculina pero Vertumno, locamente enamorado de la diosa romana, la cortejó largamente cambiando su aspecto al de una vieja mujer, felicitándola por las frutas de sus árboles y terminando por seducirla definitivamente al mostrarle de nuevo su verdadero rostro, joven y sano. Este mito aparece en el libro XIV de “Las Metamorfosis” de Ovidio (621-696 y 764-770). Ambas deidades, añade la Dra. Angela Jager, “regularly feature as staffage in paintings of gardens and orchards, and as such, they sometimes allegorize autumn and harvest in Flemish seventeenth-century painting”. An interesting feature is the interchange of looks that can perceived between the characters. The dog that is in the lower margin of the painting directs its gaze to the group of Vertumnus and Pomona. One looks at the other and the second at the first and it is there that the viewer's eyes rest. For his part, Cupid looks directly at the viewer. We would like to thank Dr. Angela Jager, Curator of Dutch and Flemish Old Master Paintings in the RKD, for identifying and cataloguing this work.

Est: €11,000 - €22,000
(1614 Antwerpen - 1672 ebenda) Die Heilige Cäcilia an der Orgel In eine Parklandschaft komponierte, in fein lasierender Malerei ausgeführte Szene. Die junge, kostbar geschmückte Heilige als Schutzpatronin der Kirchenmusik in einem reichen, rosafarbenen und blauen Gewand, an der Orgel sitzend und in die Musik vertieft zur linken Seite blickend; flankierend zwei große, andächtig lauschende bzw. singende Engel, deren goldgelbe und blaue Gewänder ebenso von der Musik bewegt zu sein scheinen wie sie selbst; im Himmel ein kleiner schwebender Engel mit einem Kranz aus Rosen, von dem mystische Strahlen auf Cäcilia gerichtet sind, hinter ihr eine an einem Spalier hochrankende Rose. Der flämische Maler Adriaen Willemsen gehörte zu den angesehenen Künstlern in Antwerpen zur Zeit von Jan Brueghel dem Jüngeren: Er betrieb eine florierende Werkstatt und wurde zum Dekan der Gilde gewählt, seine Werke wurden u. a. von dem bedeutenden dortigen Kunsthändler Guillam Forchondt vermittelt. Er malte sowohl auf Kupfer als auch auf Leinwand, meist Genreszenen und religiöse Motive, die er dominant in den Vordergrund von Landschaften komponierte. Beeinflusst und inspiriert wurde Willemsen hierbei wohl durch Peter Paul Rubens ebenso wie durch Hendrick van Balen, Gerard Seghers, Jan Brueghel dem Älteren und Jüngeren und Frans Francken. Ein in Motiv, Stil, Komposition und Größe durchaus vergleichbares, ebenfalls auf Kupfer ausgeführtes Gemäldepaar Willlemsens mit der Flucht nach Ägypten befindet sich im Prado in Madrid. Öl/Kupfertafel. L. u. sign. "A.W.IN.F.". 59,2 cm x 77,5 cm. Rahmen. Oil on copper panel. Signed.

ABRAHAM WILLEMSENS Ameberes (1610) / (1672) "Rest on the flight to Egypt"
Est: €2,250 - €3,000
Oil on copper Signed in the lower left corner with initials: "AW IN F." Matías Diaz Padrón initially cataloged a series of Flemish works traditionally attributed to Artus Wolfordt, such as Anagramist AW Later Enrique Valdivieso (Valdivieso, E. «Two paintings by Abraham Willemsen in the Prado Museum and other works by this painter in Spain», Bulletin of the Prado Museum, vol. VII, n .º 21, Madrid, 1986, pp. 166-172.) identified the Anagramist AW with Abraham Willemsem (Antwerp?, h. 1610-1672). A disciple of Willen Antonissens in Antwerp and documented in 1645 in Paris, Willemsen's style, more advanced than Wolfordt's, is anecdotal and descriptive, derived from Brueghel de Velois, Francken II and van Balen. In Spain, thanks to the work of the dealers Forchaud and Musson, we find a large number of landscapes painted on copper, animated with religious figures like this one, although he also painted mythological and genre scenes. In the Prado Museum there are two works by Willemsen, which were part of the royal collections: "The Flight into Egypt" (oil on copper plate, 58 x 77 cm) and "Rest on the Flight into Egypt", (oil on copper sheet, 58 x 77 cm), also signed in a similar way. Measurements: 70 x 86 cm In the Prado Museum there are two works by Willemsen, which were part of the royal collections: "The Flight into Egypt" (oil on copper plate, 58 x 77 cm) and "Rest on the Flight into Egypt", (oil on copper sheet, 58 x 77 cm), also signed in a similar way.

(Anversa, 1605 - 1672) Adorazione dei pastori Olio su tavola, 70X100 Il dipinto è desunto verosimilmente da una stampa di Vorsterman eseguita nel 1620 da un dipinto di Pietro Paolo Rubens del 1619 e oggi conservato al Musée des Beaux-Arts di Marsiglia (cfr. M. Jaffè, Rubens, Milano 1989, n. 482f). Una simile composizione è registrata nella collezione Barbara Piasecka Johnson di Princeton (New Jersey) e proveniente da un'asta di Christie's Londra, 13 luglio 2001 lotto 20, esitato con attribuzione a Willen Van Herp ma ora ricondotto ad Abraham Willemsen(cfr. https://rkd.nl/explore/images/248809). L'artista dovrebbe essersi formato nella città natale, dove nel 1627 è registrato alla Gilda di San Luca, come allievo di Gilliam Antonissens, di origini francesi. La sua attività fu notevole e si suppone che nella sua bottega si dipingessero molte opere destinate all'esportazione e in particolare in Spagna. Sappiamo che la sua attività era coadiuvata dai più importanti mercanti d'arte d'Anversa come Guillam Forchondt e Matthijs Musson e che Willemsen stesso si dedicasse al medesimo commercio. Si comprende allora come molte sue tavole furono riferite a Willen Van Herp, anch'esso impegnatissimo a produrre opere sull'esempio di Rubens e destinate ai mercati spagnoli e d'oltremare.

Das Gemälde ist im RKD, Den Haag, unter der Inventarnummer 41501 als ein eigenhändiges Werk von Abraham Willemsen archiviert. Der Legende nach ging der Heilige Augustinus am Meer entlang und dachte über das Geheimnis der göttlichen Dreifaltigkeit nach. Da begegnete er einem Knaben, der mit seinem Löffel Wasser aus dem Meer in eine Grube schöpfte. Augustinus fragte das Kind, was seine Absichten seien, woraufhin dieses antwortete, dass es versuche das Meer in seinen Teich zu schöpfen. Da lachte Augustinus und erklärte, dass ihm das nie gelingen würde. Der Knabe konterte jedoch und tadelte Augustinus' Versuch im Gegenzug mit dem begrenzten Verstand der Menschheit das Geheimnis der Dreifaltigkeit Gottes zu begreifen.

ABRAHAM WILLEMSEN, SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE WITH SHEPHERDS, oil on canvas, 88.5 x 124 cm
Est: €25,000 - €30,000
The work of the Antwerp genre painter Abraham Willemsen has only been more clearly defined within art history within the last 20 years. Our painting was only known of until now from copies and is probably identical with the one found in the Degenhardt Collection in Wuppertal, documented in the archives of the RKD. The number of famous copies suggests it was one of Willemsen's major works (for example Christies's Amsterdam,14.11.1991, lot 40, and Van Ham, Cologne, 2002, and described as by a 'German master'). Willemsen worked for a long period in France, in close proximity to the Le Nain brothers and worked collaboratively on paintings with Jan van Kessel in Antwerp including a 'gallery picture' which can be found today in the Staatliche Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe. A microscopic examination found that the monogram KD (Karel Dujardin) under Willemsen's monogram was a later addition.

A peasant family in a yard oil on canvas 95.8 x 120.8 cm EXHIBITION Mainz, Landesmuseum, 1998-2001 (on loan, as by Le Nain). NOTES The present, unpublished painting is an addition to the oeuvre of Abraham Willemsens as compiled by G. Martin, "The MaŒtre aux b‚guins; A proposed identification", Apollo, February 1991, pp.112-115, and "Abraham Willemsens (again); more news of attributions in Flemish painting", Apollo, February 1993, pp. 97-101. Its authenticity has been confirmed by Gregory Martin after inspection of the original. Characteristic of the artist are the sturdy monumentality of the figures and the treatment of the younger women with their full cheeks, large eyes and heavily textured drapery. Also typical of the artist is the course linen of the canvas support. As this kind of support was also widely used by the Brothers le Nain, who concentrated on the same subjects, Willemsen's pictures, including the present work, have often been miscatalogued in the past as by their hand. The composition and style of the present lot are comparable with those in the picture of A woman selling fruit in the Huntarian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow (G. Martin, op. cit., 1991, p.112, ill.) and of the two pendant pictures Farmyard with a sleeping peasant and Farmyard with a woman and child feeding poultry in a private collection (G. Martin, op. cit., 1993, p.97, ill.). Little is known of the artist. He was recorded as an apprentice in the Antwerp guild of St. Luke in 1627/8, and is recorded as having taken on apprentices in 1651/2 and in 1653/4. Willemsens is known to have provided pictures to the most celebrated art dealers of Antwerp in the 1650s and 1660s: Musson and Forchoudt. Willemsens died in Antwerp in 1672.
