Painting is distinguished by its portrayal of human figures, landscapes, and religious scenes, executed with pigments on wooden panels or canvas. Its origins reach back to the Middle Ages, when portraits of saints painted in tempera on wood predominated.

Over the centuries, the art of painting evolved from the classical techniques of the Renaissance and Baroque, through the Romanticism and Impressionism of the 19th century, to the revolutionary avant-garde movements of the 20th century, which radically transformed the way reality was represented.

The works of the masters are a finite resource that can only diminish over time. As they are acquired by museums, the number available on the market steadily decreases. Original works of art therefore represent not only a valuable investment but also a daily source of aesthetic joy.

Jan Baptist Lambrechts, Genre scene in an inn, 27 x 24 cm, ca. mid-18th century

875,00 
An intimate oil painting on board attributed to Jan Baptist Lambrechts, a leading painter of genre scenes of 18th-century Flanders. The composition shows a couple in an inn: the woman turns to the man reproachfully, the man looks away, holding a jug and a glass. The scene alludes to everyday domestic tensions and the problem of alcohol abuse. The painting is distinguished by realistic social observation, the play of light and the artist's characteristic details like a plate with clamshells and a white scarf. The subject matter and style are perfectly in line with the trend of moralistic bourgeois painting popular in Flanders.

Jan Baptist Lambrechts, Genre scene in an inn, 28 x 24 cm, ca. mid-18th century

An intimate genre scene, attributed to Flemish painter John Baptist Lambrechts. The center of the depiction is formed by three figures: a woman in a red skirt and green kaftan with a distinctive white scarf around her neck, a man in a red cap and a woman standing behind, who participates in the conversation. Next to her stands a set table, covered with a colorful cloth, on which the white shawl - a hallmark of inn scenes by Lambrechts - could not be missing. A gesticulating man addresses a woman who, with a glass in her hand, looks calmly at the viewer. On her shoulders is a white shawl tied over her breasts: an element characteristic of Lambrechts' painting, present in almost all his depictions of women. The painting betrays the characteristics of a good painter's workshop such as skillfully developed chiaroscuro, the way of depicting the details of fabrics and tableware attest to the artist's technical maturity. The composition is static, but full of subtle emotional tensions.
