David Vinckboons Die Taufe des Mohrenkämmerers Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert). 119 x 194 cm. Gutachten Dr. Klaus Ertz, 17.3.2017. Provenienz Norddeutsche Privatsammlung. Literatur Über den Künstler K. Ertz, C. Nitze-Ertz: David Vinckboons, Lingen 2016. Das über Jahrzehnte im Besitz einer deutschen Familie befindliche Gemälde war bisher dem Maler Gillis van Coninxloo zugeordnet worden. Die neue Zuschreibung an dessen Freund David Vinckboons verdanken wir Klaus Ertz, der es um 1605 datiert. Es handelt sich also um ein Frühwerk dieses 1576 in Mecheln geborenen Künstlers, der bereits 1586 mit seinen Eltern in die protestantischen Niederlande gezogen war. Vinckboons wird gerne als „holländischer Maler“ bezeichnet, „der flämischer nicht sein kann." Denn, so Klaus Ertz, „trotz seines über 40 Jahre währenden Aufenthalts in Holland blieb seine Kunst vorwiegend flämisch." Das Gemälde gehört zu dem Kompositionstyp “Waldige Berglandschaft mit christlicher Staffage“ - letztere übrigens immer von Vinckboons selber gemalt. Die hier am unteren Bildrand geschilderte Episode aus der Apostelgeschichte, bei der Philippus dem Schatzmeister der Königin von Äthiopien begegnet und bekehrt, wurde zu der Zeit auch von anderen niederländischen Malern als Bildthema aufgegriffen, darunter von Salomon van Ruysdael, Maarten van Heemskerck, Jan Brueghel d. Ä. Pieter Lastmann oder Rembrandt auf einem seiner Kupferstiche. Stilistisch ist das vorliegende Gemälde mit dem um 1603 zu datierenden Bild "Hauptmann von Kapharnaum" der Bayerischen Staatsgemäldesammlungen (in Bamberg) zu vergleichen (Ertz, op. cit., Kat. Nr. 1). David Vinckboons The Baptism of the Eunuch Oil on canvas (relined). 119 x 194 cm. Expertise Dr. Klaus Ertz, 17th March 2017 Provenance Private collection, North Germany. Literature For this artist cf.: K. Ertz, C.Nitze-Ertz: David Vinckboons, Lingen 2016. This painting was in the possession of a German family for decades, where it was formerly ascribed to the painter Gillis van Coninxloo. However, Klaus Ertz has since attributed the piece to van Coninxloo's friend David Vinckboons and dates it to 1605, which would make it an early work by this artist. Vinckboons was born in Mechelen but later moved with his parents to the Protestant Netherlands in 1586. However, Vinckboons is still often described as a “Dutch painter who couldn't be more Flemish” as according to Klaus Ertz, “his style remained rooted in the tradition of this region despite 40 years in Holland”. This painting utilises the motif of a wooded landscape with a Christian scene, for which Vinckboons always painted the figures himself. A motif from the Book of Acts is depicted on the lower edge of the image, recounting the story in which the Apostle Philipp mets the Queen of Ethiopia's Chamberlain and converted him to Christianity. This story was illustrated by several other Netherlandish painters in this time, including Salomon van Ruysdael, Maarten van Heemskerck, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Pieter Lastmann, and Rembrandt, who depicted the scene in one of his engravings. Stylistically, the present work is comparable to a work depicting the healing of the centurion's servant kept in the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen in Bamberg (cf. Ertz op. cit., cat. no. 1).
