Description |
English: Wooded Mountain Landscape with Waterfall and Travellers is a magnificent fantasy landscape in the Flemish tradition, painted in the first half of the 17th century by the Antwerp painter Gijsbrecht Leytens (1586–c.1642/56), best known for his atmospheric winter scenes. With its characteristic features – an imposing Northern European mountain- and forest landscape combined with fanciful Italianate buildings, pastoral idylls and exotically dressed groups of travellers – the painting is representative of key trends in Flemish landscape painting after the year 1600.
The painting's first known owner, Gustaf Adolf Sparre af Söfdeborg (1746–1794), was heir to one of Sweden’s wealthiest merchant families. His large collection was built up primarily through extensive purchases in the Netherlands and Paris during the later 18th century and was considered one of the best in Sweden after the Royal collection itself. Sparre’s tastes as an art collector were formed during his Grand Tour of England, Holland and Belgium, as well as longer stays in Paris, during the years 1768–1772 and 1779–1780. The majority of the collection comprised small-scale Flemish and Dutch cabinet paintings from the 17th century. During Sparre’s lifetime, the collection was displayed in the gallery that he had set up in an apartment of the Sahlgren Palace on Norra Hamngatan in Gothenburg. In around 1775, Sparre commissioned frames for the paintings to match the rest of the gallery’s décor. These were probably made by the same joiners, including sculptor G. J. Fast, who created the apartment’s mirror frames and panelling. Description as New acquisition, January 2013: Three 17th-century paintings from Gustaf Adolf Sparre’s art collection: David Teniers t.Y., Tavern Interior with Peasant Lighting his Pipe, NM 7125 Jacob Toorenvliet, Man Holding a Jug (Taste), NM 7126 Gijsbrecht Leytens, Wooded Mountain Landscape with Waterfall and Travellers, NM 7124 Nationalmuseum has acquired three important Flemish and Dutch cabinet paintings from the collection of Count Gustaf Adolf Sparre – a landscape by Gijsbrecht Leytens and two genre scenes in smaller format by David Teniers the Younger and Jacob Toorenvliet. The paintings have gilt frames decorated in Gustavian style, with the two latter works bearing cartouches at the top.

Fast, who created the apartment’s mirror frames and panelling. Sparre was particularly keen on Dutch and Flemish genre painting, from the simple depictions of drinking and smoking peasants to the richly detailed “fine painting” of the Leiden artists. This was entirely in line with prevailing trends among 18th-century connoisseurs in the Netherlands and Paris where, as graphic reproductions, the works of the Dutch and Flemish artists were widely appreciated. The newly acquired paintings Tavern Interior with Peasant Lighting his Pipe from the 1640s by Antwerp painter David Teniers the Younger (1610–1690) – the artist with the largest number of works in Sparre’s collection – and Man Holding a Jug (Taste) from around 1679 by the Dutch “fine painter” Jacob Toorenvliet (1640–1719) are prime examples of the tastes of the time. Another important group in the Sparre collection was landscapes and pastoral scenes.

I förgrunden ett mörkt, skuggat område med multnade trädstubbar som fungerar som repoussoir.
Beskrivning som månadens nyförvärv, Januari 2013: Tre 1600-talsmålningar ur Sparresamlingen: David Teniers d.y., Krogscen med piprökare, NM 7125 Jacob Toorenvliet, Man som håller ett krus (Smaken), NM 7126 Gijsbrecht Leytens, Bergigt skogslandskap med vattenfall och resande, NM 7124 Nationalmuseums samlingar har berikats genom förvärvet av tre flamländska och holländska kabinettsmålningar ur greve Gustaf Adolf Sparres konstsamling. Det är ett landskap av Gijsbrecht Leytens samt två genrescener i mindre format av David Teniers d.y. och Jacob Toorenvliet. Målningarna har förgyllda ramar med ornament i gustaviansk stil, de två sistnämnda med upptill placerade namnkartuscher. Gustaf Adolf Sparre af Söfdeborg (1746-1794) var arvtagare till en av landets förmögnaste handelsfamiljer. Hans stora konstsamling byggdes främst upp genom omfattande inköp i Nederländerna och Paris under slutet av 1700-talet och ansågs vara en av de främsta i landet vid sidan av de kungliga. Sparres smak som konstsamlare formades under bildningsresor till England, Holland och Belgien, samt längre vistelser i Paris, under åren 1768-72 respektive 1779-80. Huvuddelen av samlingen bestod av småskaligt flamländskt och holländskt kabinettsmåleri från 1600-talet. Under Sparres livstid förvarades den i det galleri som han låtit inrätta i bostaden i Göteborg, det Sahlgrenska huset vid Norra Hamngatan. Till målningarna lät Sparre omkring 1775 beställa ramar anpassade till galleriets fasta inredning, förmodligen utförda av samma snickare, bl.a. bildhuggaren G. J. Fast, som tillverkat våningens spegelramar och boaserier. Sparre uppskattade särskilt det holländska och flamländska genremåleriet, såväl den enkla bondegenrens skildringar av druckna och rökande bönder som Leiden-konstnärernas detaljrika ”finmåleri”. Detta var helt i linje med rådande smakriktningar bland 1700-talets konnässörer i Nederländerna och Paris, där de holländska och flamländska konstnärernas verk fick stor spridning genom grafiska reproduktioner. Goda exempel på tidens smak är de nyförvärvade målningarna Krogscen med piprökare från 1640-talet av Antwerpen-målaren David Teniers d.y. (1610-1690) – den enskilda konstnär som i Sparres samling var representerad med störst antal verk – och Man som håller ett krus (Smaken) från ca 1679 av den holländske ”finmålaren” Jacob Toorenvliet (1640-1719). En annan betydande grupp i Sparresamlingen var landskap och herdeskildringar. Bergigt skogslandskap med vattenfall och resande är ett praktfullt fantasilandskap i den flamländska traditionen, utfört under 1600-talets förra hälft av Antwerpen-målaren Gijsbrecht Leytens (1586-ca 1642/56), mest känd för sina stämningsfulla vinterscener. Med sina karaktäristiska stildrag – ett överdådigt nordeuropeiskt berg- och skogslandskap kombinerat med fantasifulla italienska byggnader, herdeidyller och exotiskt klädda grupper av resande – är målningen representativ för viktiga strömningar i det flamländska landskapsmåleriet efter år 1600. Nationalmuseums förvärv, som möjliggjorts genom donationsmedel ur Wirosfonden, utgör ett betydande tillskott till samlingen av 1600-talets kabinettsmåleri. Samtidigt ger det en inblick i det europeiska 1700-talets privata konstsamlande. |
