Lot No. 327


Flemish School, 17th Century


Flemish School, 17th Century - Old Master Paintings

The young Bacchus,
oil on panel, 62 x 48 cm, framed

Provenance:
Michel van Gelder (1864–1929) Collection, Château Zeecrabbe, Uccle, Brussels;
sale, Christie’s, London, 14 May 1971, lot 92 (as Jacob Jordaens);
sale, Dorotheum, Vienna, 27 May 1974, lot 83 (as Jan Lievens);
Private collection, Vienna

Exhibited:
Brussels, Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Jacob Jordaens, 1928

The present painting formerly bore alternative attributions to Jacob Jordaens and Jan Lievens. Bernhard Schnackenburg, to whom we are grateful for his kind support, sees a vague connection to the oeuvre of Jacob Backer, which is, however, rejected by Peter van den Brink, whom we also thank for his opinion. He considers the picture to be Flemish and thinks that it is by one of Rubens’s followers.
