FLEMISH SCHOOL 17thC - PORTRAIT OF A MAN ATTR. PIETER DE JODE II - CHARCOAL
Item History & Price
From a recent find on a market in the Sarthe region, is this Flemish master drawing, dating back to the second quarter of the 17th century.
The drawing, executed in charcoal on laid paper, depicts a portrait of a man in a standing pose, dressed in the style of the of the 1640s.Research learned us that the depicted man is Baron Guillaume de Lamboy. The portrait, most likely, is one of the preparatory studies for the "Theatrum Pontificum, Imperatorum, Regum, Ducum, Principum, et...c.", edited by Pieter de Jode II in 1651. In this edition, the baron finaly is depicted in full armor (see extra photo).
Authorship : the drawing is from the Flemish School, given to Pieter de Jode II.
PIETER DE JODE II (Antwerp 1606 - Antwerp 1674) : Flemish draughtsman, engraver, publisher and art dealer. He was the only son of Pieter de Jode I, who was his first teacher. He was active in Antwerp and master of the Guild of St Luke from 1628/9.
As an engraver, he worked for Anthony van Dyck and his work is often difficult to distinguish from that of his father (he probably only signed as Pieter de Jode junior until his father's death in 1634). In 1631-32, he's registered being active in Paris, in 1667 he worked in Brussels. It is not clear when and where he died. Possibly he died in England in or after 1674, the date of his last known print. What remained of family business passed to his son Arnold de Jode who died in London.
Period : ca. 1645-1650.
Size : 15, 5x11, 1cm (without mat).
