Quirijn Gerritsz. van Brekelenkam
(Zwammerdam? after 1622 - after 1669 Leiden)
An old scholar debating Death,
signed and indistinctly dated lower right,
oil on canvas, 67 x 59 cm, framed
Provenance:
with Galerie Fievez, Brussels;
Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels;
Private collection, Belgium
The present picture is close in composition to Quirin van Brekelenkam’s Goldweigher (Vanitas) in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich (inv. no. 2757). Angelika Lasius, in her monograph on the artist, says the composition can be understood as an examination of miserliness and greed. The viola da gamba and the books are also symbols of vanity.
