Hieronymus Galle

Hieronymus Galle или Hieronymus Galle I или The Streed [ 1 ] (1625 в Антверпене - 1679 в Антверпене) был фламандским художником, который специализировался на неподвижном жизни фруктов и цветов и охотничьих кусочков. Он сотрудничал со своими коллегами -художниками на картинах гирлянды, т.е. картины, показывающие гирлянду из цветов или фруктов вокруг религиозного изображения или портрета. [ 2 ]
Жизнь
[ редактировать ]Hieronymus Galle был сыном Элизабет Классенс и Huibrecht Galle, посланника Антверпена на площадку в Брюсселе. [ 3 ]

Он был учеником Авраама Хак, который также преподавал плодовитый Ян Ван Ден Хек . Он присоединился к Гильдии Антверпена Святого Луки в 1636 году и стал мастером в 1645-46 годах. [ 4 ]
Он отправился в Италию и был задокументирован в Риме в 1661-1662 годах. Он поделился жильем в Риме со своим соотечественником Францискасом де Неве (II) . [ 5 ] После своего пребывания в Риме он подписал свои работы с итальянской формой своего имени Джиролимо. [ 6 ]
It is believed he had a career in Antwerp where the last record about Galle dates to 1679.[4] There are further indications that he worked in Brussels where he joined the local Guild of Saint Luke.[7][8]
Work
[edit]General
[edit]
He was known mainly for his flower and fruit still lifes. He also painted hunting pieces and garland paintings. He is further known for vanitas paintings.[4] About 15 signed and dated paintings executed between 1643 and 1680 are known.[9]
Still lifes
[edit]He was initially a follower of the leading Antwerp flower painters Daniel Seghers and Jan Brueghel the Elder.[3][10] While Seghers generally bathed his flowers in full light, Galle more typically relied on an animated play of light and shade in his compositions. In his palette he showed a preference for salmon-pink tonalities.[9] In comparison to Seghers, Galle’s work is more modern and his floral compositions are more dense and more picturesque in their conception.[7]

His still lifes further show he absorbed Roman still life traditions of the mid-17th century. During his stay in Rome he would have been exposed to this tradition, which itself was influenced by Flemish still life painters such as Abraham Brueghel.[9] The work of Italian artists such as Paolo Porpora and Michelangelo di Campidoglio may have been an influence on his work too.[10]
A vanitas painting by his hand is kept in the collection of the Museum of Western and Oriental Art, Kyiv.[8]
Garland paintings
[edit]He painted a number of paintings in the genre of garland paintings, a special type of still life developed in Antwerp by Jan Brueghel the Elder in collaboration with the Italian cardinal Federico Borromeo at the beginning of the 17th century.[11] The genre was initially connected to the visual imagery of the Counter-Reformation movement.[11] It was further inspired by the cult of veneration and devotion to Mary prevalent at the Habsburg court (then the rulers over the Southern Netherlands) and in Antwerp generally.[11][2] Garland paintings typically show a flower garland around a devotional image, portrait or other religious symbol (such as the host).[2] By the second half of the century secular themes such as portraits and mythological subjects also decorated the central part of the many paintings made in this fashion.[12] Garland paintings are typically a collaboration between a figure painter and a flower painter.
Galle is known to have collaborated with Cornelis Schut on a garland painting referred to as A trompe l'oeil relief of the Pietà in a stone carved tondo, surrounded by festoons of flowers and thistles (Sold at Christie's on 11 May 2005 in Amsterdam lot 29).[13]
Galle was likely an influence on the French still life painter Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer who resided in Antwerp for some time.[14]
