Description: | Simon Hardimé was a less successful artist than his younger brother Pieter and as a consequence few works attributed to him survive. Although unsigned, this work shows strong similarities with known paintings in other collections. His tendency towards the decorative rather than the naturalistic effect is indicative of the influence of the French artist Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer, whose prestigious patrons included King Louis XIV. His work had become widely known through the engravings published from his portfolio of botanical images arranged in intricate displays. Like Monnoyer, Hardimé trained initially in Antwerp and spent his latter years living and working in London. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hardimé, Simon (Flemish artist, possibly 1664 or 1672-1737) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Monnoyer, Jean-Baptiste (French painter, 1636-1699, active in Paris and London) Previously attributed to Picart, Jean Michel (Flemish painter, ca.1600-1682) Previously attributed to Ruysch, Rachel (Dutch painter, 1664-1750) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8841... | Go to resource |
