Laurens Craen, um 1620 – 1665/71 MiddelburgSTILLLEBEN MIT RÖMER- UND STANGENGLAS, UMGEBEN VON CITRUSFRÜCHTEN UND RAUCHUTENSILIENÖl auf Leinwand.63 x 71 cm.Das Gemälde, war mehrfach in bedeutenden Sammlungen und Ausstellungen vertreten, sowie in den jeweiligen Katalogen abgebildet. Die hellfarbigen Zitronen, die tönerne Glutschale und die Meerschaumpfeife treten leuchtend aus dem dunklen Grund auf. Die Gläser, um die sich ein Weinlaub-Zweig schlingt, treten im Dunkel des Hintergrundes zurück, was der Gesamterscheinung des Bildes einen geheimnisvollen Charakter verleiht. Der Glanz von Glas und Metallplatte in meisterlicher Malerei. Von besonderem Interesse ist das Tabak-Wickelpapier links im Bild, auf dem fein geschriebener Text zu erkennen ist „R ./ Taback / I. / H.“ (Schriftbild vergleichbar mit einem Brief von Craen an Constantijn Huygens 1648, Kgl. Bibliothek, KA 42 aa, nr. 95). Das bekannte Oevre des Malers ist nicht allzu groß. Nicolaas R. A. Vroom nannte 1980 lediglich sechs Gemälde (s. Lit.). Dagegen berichtet Sam Segal von etwa zwanzig Bildern. Laurens Craen ist für 1649 in Middelburg tätig nachgewiesen, wo er für den Hof in Den Haag wirkte. Sein Frühwerk ab der 1540-er Jahre zeigt den Einfluss von Jan Davidsz. de Heem (1606-1984). Es wird angenommen, dass Johannes Borman (tätig um 1658) als Schüler Craens Einflüsse übernommen hat.Provenienz:Wohl: R. H. Ward, London, 1932.Wohl: D. A. Hoogendijk & Co., Amsterdam, 1932. A.S.

Of particular interest is the tobacco wrapping paper on the left of the painting, on which the finely written text “R ./ Taback / I. / H.” can be seen (typeface comparable to a letter from Craen to Constantijn Huygens 1648, Royal Library, KA 42 aa, no. 95). The painter’s known oeuvre is not very large. In 1980, Nicolaas R. A. Vroom only named six paintings (see Lit.). By contrast, Sam Segal lists around twenty paintings.Provenance:Probably R. H.

The Austrian artist Hanns Pellar, renowned for his unique Art Nouveau aesthetic, gained recognition for his use of graceful lines, intricate decorative motifs, and a frequent focus on mythological and allegorical themes. In 1911, he was invited by the Grand Duke of Hessen to join the Künstlerkolonie in Darmstadt, where he primarily focused on portraiture, earning acclaim among a select group of art connoisseurs. Pellar’s works often depicted high-society women adorned in lavish attire, celebrated for their vivid creativity and radiant quality. His contributions to art were deeply rooted in the Jugendstil movement, which flourished in Austria and Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This movement mirrored artistic trends elsewhere in Europe, including the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain and the Art Nouveau styles prominent in France and Belgium.
