Jan van Kessel d. Ä., um 1626 – 1679 INSEKTEN Gouache auf Pergament. 11,6 x 23 cm. Rechts unten signiert. Hinter Glas gerahmt. Wie der Monographie von Klaus Ertz und Christa Nitze-Ertz über die Malerfamilie van Kessel ausgeführt, bilden die "Insekten und Kriechtiere, allein in Form von Streubildmustern oder in Form von dreidimensionalen Miniaturräumen [...] eine verhältnismäßig homogene Werkgruppe der Zeit 1653 bis 1661." Das vorliegende feine Blatt bildet für diese Gruppe innerhalb des Werks des Künstlers ein hervorragendes Beispiel. Gleichmäßig über die Bildfläche verteilt, präsentiert der Künstler unterschiedliche Schmetterlinge, wie Pfauenauge und Elster-Motte, Falter und Schwärmer sowie weitere kleine Insekte wie Ameisen und rechts einer Raupe. Vor dem monochromen Untergrund leuchten die Farben der Flügel elegant hervor und zeugen von der Akribie und Perfektion dieses Meisters der Stillleben. Provenienz: Privatsammlung, England. Literatur: Abgebildet in Klaus Ertz, Christa Nitze-Ertz, Die Maler Jan van Kessel, Lingen 2012, S. 258, Nr. 365. Abgebildet im Ausstellungskatalog Europalia, 1980 – 1981, „Bruegel un dynastie des peintres Palais de Beaux-Arts“, Brüssel, 1809. - 18.11.1980, S.329, Nr. 276. (1110941) (12) Jan van Kessel the Elder, ca. 1626 - 1679 INSECTS Gouache on parchment. 11.6 x 23 cm. Signed lower right. Framed with glass. In his monograph about the van Kessel painter family the, art expert Klaus Ertz points out that the “insects and reptiles, spread like patterns or arranged in three-dimensional miniature spaces (.) form a relatively homogenous group of works between 1653 and 1661”. The present high-quality painting is a superb example of this: the artist has evenly spread diverse butterflies, such as peacock butterfly magpie moth, and other small insects such as ants and a caterpillar on the right over the entire painting surface. The luminous colours of the wings stand out elegantly against the monochrome background and show the meticulousness and perfection of this master of still life paintings. Provenance: Private collection, England. Literature: Illustrated in Klaus Ertz, Christa Nitze-Ertz, Die Maler Jan van Kessel, Lingen 2012, p. 258, no. 365. Ilustrated in exhibition catalogue Europalia,1980 – 1981, „Bruegel un dynastie des peintres Palais de Beaux-Arts“, Brüssel, 1809. - 18.11.1980, p.329, no. 276.
