ADRIAEN FRANS BOUDEWYNS (1644-1711) & PIETER BOUT (1640-1689) Landscape with travellers. Panel. Retouchings. Provenance and certificate: Robert Pintelon, Gallery Pintelon Corinne, Aalst, 29.1.2008 Adriaen Frans Boudewijns was baptized in 1644 in the Saint Nicholas Church in Brussels. He was an apprentice of Ignatius van der Stock (c. 1635-?), a Brussels artist, from whom he learned the technique of engraving and painting landscapes in the style of the Brussels landscape school including artists such as Lodewijk de Vadder (1605 -1655), Jacques d'Arthois (1613-1686) and Lucas Achtschellinck (1626-1699). In 1665, Boudewijns completed his training at the guild of Saint-Luke and moved to Paris, a city highly regarded for the arts, thanks to the patronage of Louis XIV. In this city, he enters the workshop of Adam-Frans Van der Meulen (1632-1690), an artist who depicts the battles of Le Roi Sollei and whose influence will be very decisive for the young artist who will also marry his sister, Barbara van der Meulen (c. 1643-1674) in 1670. Boudewijns remains in Paris for ten years, where he makes cartons for the Gobelins tapestries and numerous engravings after the work of Adam-Frans Van der Meulen. There, he will also meet Pieter Bout for the first time, who specialised in painting staffage figures. Only after 1682, when both artists settle back in Brussels and Boudewijns opens his own studio, will the two artists work together, so that the painting can be dated after this date. In the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (KMSKB) there are two similar paintings by Boudewijns in which the figures are attributed to Pieter Bout (inv. 2936 and inv. 2937). In this calm and peaceful landscape painted in warm, earthy tones, Bouwdewyns and Bout manage to create a beautiful and complete composition. Bout's figures show some relationship with those of Jan Brueghel I (1568-1625), whereby he distinguishes himself from his predecessor with a more subltle us of light and a more realistic rendering. Dimensions: 19.5 x 26 cm (26.5 x 33.5 cm)
