joris van son
Joris Van Son (Antwerp, 1623-1667) Flower and fruit garland around a cartouche Oil on canvas 65 x 50 cm Provenance: Queen Desideria of Sweden (1777-1860) Joris Van Son was a seventeenth-century Antwerp painter who was strongly influenced by the work of Jan Davidsz. De Heem (a Northern Netherlandish painter who was active in Antwerp in the 1630'ies). Together with Nicolaes Veerendael, Jan Van Kessel and Daniël Seghers, he was one of the main protagonists of Flemish (Antwerp) floral still life art from the mid-seventeenth century. Amongst his pupils were Frans van Everbroeck, Jan Pauwel Gillemans the Younger, Cornelis van Huynen, Norbert Montalie and Abraham Herderwijn. Van Sons preferred two important categories in the genre of flower and fruit still lifes: garlands ('cartouches') and so-called 'pronkstillevens' ('showy still lifes'). The 'cartouche' was often filled with the image of a Saint or a portrait. This by another painter, usually specialised in figures (for example Cornelis Schut, Erasmus Quellinus or Frans II Francken). The fact that our 'cartouche' remained empty in the center indicates that Van Son created this work as a coastal work 'in itself'. The quality is excellent and Van Son not only shows off his in-depth knowledge of the flora and fruits, but also his great sense of sensitivity, detail and colour. Striking is the powerful sculpted cartouche (with a male head bellow) in grisaille, in contrast with the bright fruits and flowers. This work has an interesting provenance: in the early nineteenth century it was owned by Desideria, Queen of Sweden and Norway (1777-1860).
