Frans Wouters
(Lier 1612–1659 Antwerp)
A satyr observing a sleeping nymph (Jupiter in the guise of a satyr and Antiope),
oil on copper, 49 x 39 cm, framed
Provenance:
Private collection, Munich;
sale, Dorotheum, Vienna, 21 April 2010, lot 181;
Private European collection
Walther Bernt states that Wouters: “in his art, the landscape, characterised by a special equilibrium, fully comes into its own. The generously rendered foliage under a bright blue sky covered with white clouds is typical of this artist. The mythological and biblical figures populating his compositions display harmony and ensure a great visual diversity. The erotes, which frequently recur in his works, are reminiscent of those of Van Dyck and P. van Avont.”
