About the Item
The temptation of Saint Anthony - Attributed to Cornelis de Baeillieur
Oil on copper
Cornelis de Baellieur the Elder was an Antwerp painter who was strongly influenced by Frans Francken the Younger. Our painting partly copies a popular composition by Frans Francken II of which several versions exist: some are attributed to Frans Francken II or to his workshop, others to Cornelis de Baellieur.
According to the RKD he was a pupil of Anthonis Liesaert and is known for paintings of art galleries such as Interior of an Art Gallery. He became a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1626. He drew figures in the paintings of other painters, such as Hans III Jordaens.
Saint Anthony was the first Christian who consecrated a large part of his life to solitude: an existence of abstinence and self-denial free of earthly attachments. Our painting shows how the devil attacked his mind with lustful thoughts and his body with seductive or frightful creatures.

- 18th century Old Master oil painting - Travellers at rest in a sunset landscapeLocated in Antwerp, BE18th century old master painting depicting a peaceful countryside scenery at sunset with a fortified town visible in the distance attributed to Franz Paula de Ferg In the present jewel-like painting, de Ferg captures a moment of respite amidst the journey of life. Two travelers can be seen sitting to the left, pausing for a moment of rest, perhaps reflecting on the path they've traveled and the one that lies ahead. Meanwhile, a lone traveler atop a magnificent white horse engages in conversation with a couple, perhaps he is asking them for directions. In the distance, the landscape unfolds in all its glory, a majestic mountain bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. The golden light casts a serene glow over the scene, imbuing it with a sense of tranquility and beauty. Amidst the natural splendor, a fortified village stands as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity, a beacon of civilization amidst the untamed wilderness. Above it all, the sky is adorned with impressive white clouds, their billowing forms adding a touch of drama and grandeur to the scene. It's a moment frozen in time, where the beauty of nature and the fleeting connections between fellow travelers converge, reminding us of the profound beauty and poignancy of the journey we all share. The painting has been painted on a copper support, which has ensured that the vibrancy and intensity have survived so well through the centuries. Franz de Paula Ferg, was born on May 2, 1689 in Vienna and is also known as Francis Paul...Category
