Huybrecht Beuckelaer (or Beuckeleer)
1535/39 – after 1602. 'A fruit and vegetable, poultry game seller with a town beyond'. h|w 135 x 101 cm work: Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower left 'Huberius Beuckelaer.'
The younger brother, presumably, of the well-known painter Joachim Beuckelaer, Huybrecht Beuckelaer remained unknown to art history until only recently. His rare paintings, due to their signature, were initially classified as by a monogrammist Hb, until a full signature was discovered under a layer of overpaint on one of them. This newly discovered market scene is thus the second fully signed work by the artist to come to light. The previously known monogrammed paintings by the artist, history and genre scenes, are stylistically related to those of his brother and to work by their teacher and uncle, Pieter Aertsen. Huybrecht is also known to have painted portraits and believed to have worked as Anthony Mor’s assistant in about 1560. By 1586, he had settled in Greenwich, where he was recorded in that year as ‘Hubert Buchler’. He is believed to be the painter ‘Hubbert’ who had painted portraits of and for Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, by 1583 and by whom several works were recorded in the Earl’s inventory in 1584. Formerly, the date on this painting has been read as 1585, but it turns out that, sadly, it was too much abraded in the past to be properly legible. It may even be that the first two digits read as 16, suggesting that it was painted in or after 1600. In any case, this appears to be a later work by Huybrecht Beuckelaer, it was most likely done after his move to England. In it, he has acquired a more individual style and manner than in the earlier works that make up his known oeuvre. As such it may serve as a firm stepping stone for recognition of more works by the artist.
In theme and composition, this market scene is reminiscent of work by Joachim Beuckelaer, but it breathes a somewhat more modern atmosphere, also, and particularly, in the attire of the maid. The handling, particularly that of the animals, fruit and vegetables is quite detailed and refined, not as bold as in Joachim’s paintings. Without the signature – which is absolutely genuine – the painting might not have been connected to Huybrecht Beuckelaer. However, the basket is very similar in its rendering to the one in a painting convincingly attributed to Huybrecht in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp (inv. no. 863). As usual in such paintings, the theme is not simply that of a maid shopping at the market. Her intimate approach of the seller suggests that she is looking for more than just food for the stomach. Specific elements, such as the rooster and the hen together in the basket, may indeed well allude to a sexual connotation of the scene.

Op de antiekbeurs ART BREDA is deze week een onbekend 17de-eeuws schilderij van Weesp opgedoken. Het wintergezicht op de stad is het werk van de bekende Hollandse meester Jan Abrahamsz. van Beerstraten. Het doek uit 1657 is misschien wel het interessantste schilderij van de stad Weesp ooit gevonden,...
