Great Flemish genre scene painting from the 17th century

Offered by: Parino Mercato Antiquario

Description
A magnificent 17th-century Flemish painting. This painting oil on canvas depicts a genre scene of extraordinary pictorial quality. The painting is set in front of a country house near a stone well. The subject is dominated by a family group, where children are busy drinking milk while the adults go about their daily chores. Around them, chickens, a goat, and a cow complete the rural scene.

The composition is based on a refined balance between figures, architecture, and nature, conveying a sense of domestic serenity typical of 17th-century Dutch and Belgian painting. The handwriting is precise and realistic, rich in exquisite detail, such as the still life in the foreground with splendid earthenware and metal tableware. The high pictorial quality, the color palette, and the narrative approach are reminiscent of the school of David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690), one of the most celebrated painters of everyday life during the Dutch Golden Age.

A highly charming artwork, perfect for classic or contemporary settings and ideal for collectors of high-period Nordic paintings. Spectacular 20th-century carved and gilded wood frame, beautifully decorated. The painting has already been restored with re-lining, replacement of the stretcher, and re-coloring in small spots. Overall in good condition. Internal dimensions: H 88.5 x W 110.5 cm.
