Balthasar Beschey
(Antwerp 1708–1776)
The Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist in a wooded landscape,
oil on panel, 46 x 36 cm, framed
Provenance:
Private collection, Germany, since 2000
We are grateful to Klaus Ertz for confirming the attribution of the present painting (a written certificate, dated August 2017, is available).
Ertz writes: “In the eighteenth century, Flanders no longer had great geniuses, such as Peter Paul Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder in the seventeenth century. Nevertheless, the eighteenth century is particularly rich in painters such as Beschey, who were familiar with their historical tradition and absorbed what they had inherited in terms of both colour and form and content and subject matter, capable of developing from it their own style with masterful craftsmanship. Balthasar Beschey is part of a long line of painters reaching from Boucher and Lancret to the Frenchman Dominique Ingres. […] He is one of the last Flemish traditionalists, committed to a development that was radically broken up towards the late eighteenth century by such ingenious painter as the Spaniard Francisco de Goya or the Englishman William Turner.”
