Description: | This painting is a copy of a work by a painter of the Leiden school of fijnschilders - fine painters'. This painting has been attributed to both Pieter Cornelisz. van Slingelandt (or Slingeland), who copied the works of his master, Gerard Dou, and his contemporaries, Schalcken and Frans van Mieris, who were also working in Leiden and to Schalcken himself. The painting was previously believed to be by Schalcken until it was cleaned and Slingelandt's signature found beneath that of the former. A person taking a light from a naked flame is a theme often used by Schalcken. It is now thought to be by neither artist and is probably a later copy of a lost work by Schalcken. | Subjects: | figure; everyday life; still life; interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Schalcken, Godfried (Dutch painter, 1643-1706) Æ After Previously attributed to Schalcken, Godfried (Dutch painter, 1643-1706) Previously attributed to Slingeland, Pieter Cornelisz. van (Dutch painter, 1640-1691) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8862... | Go to resource |
