Círculo de Gerrit Dou (1613-1675) - Interior de cocina con personajes - XL

Dutch School of the 17th century, circle of Gerrit Dou / Quiringh van Brekelenkam 135x146 cm. Art - Painting - Old oil painting from the 17th century Oil on canvas from a 17th-century Dutch genre painting school. Interior in a kitchen with figures. c. 1670 With carved wooden frame in fine gold. Genre painting played a fundamental role in 17th-century painting, especially in the Italian and Dutch schools, where it established itself as an essential pathway for the representation of daily life and the social structures of the period. In a context marked by intense political, religious and economic transformations, artists began to move away from grand heroic or exclusively religious themes to focus on scenes of everyday life, rich in direct observation and with critical or satirical nuances. In Italy, genre painting developed particularly within the Caravaggisti naturalism, with depictions of popular types, musicians, street vendors or market scenes, which endowed painting with unprecedented immediacy and emotional charge. In the Netherlands, and especially in the Dutch Republic, this genre gained prominence within the bourgeois boom, consolidating as a reflection of the moral, labor and domestic values of the new middle class. Painters such as Jan Steen, Pieter de Hooch or Gerard ter Borch developed interior scenes, taverns or festivities that not only document the way of life of the era, but also keenly explore human relationships and social behaviors. The tenebrism-like treatment, the sober palette of earth tones and carmines, and the meticulous description of everyday objects denote the hand of a master trained in the tradition of the Dutch fijnschilders... The scene seeks to elevate the everyday to the category of painting, a hallmark of Dutch Calvinism. Note: “To ensure the safety and pristine condition of the artwork, depending on its size and nature, transport and delivery may be carried out by the seller personally.” Nota: «Para garantizar la seguridad y el estado impecable de la obra de arte, y dependiendo de su tamaño y naturaleza, el transporte y la entrega podrían ser realizados personalmente por el vendedor».
