The portrayal of the young man fits perfectly into Mijttens' oeuvre, which consistently reproduced ladies and gentlemen of good origin in this way, as for example can be seen in the portrait of Wolphart van Brederode (link). Also the theme of the hunt was not strange to Mijttens and his surroundings (compare for example with a portrait of most probably Mary of Nassau, link).

The reverse with an old auction label.

 

Provenance: Private collection, Belgium, Ghent.

 

Condition: (UV-checked)

- The painting in good and without doubt in hangable condition.

- Relined (partly because of some damage on the right side of the arm).

Work: 101,5 x 76,5 cm 

 

The prototype of this portrait by Sir Godfrey Kneller is on show at St Georlinkge's Hall, Windsor Castle (collection number: RCIN 405675, link). William III is wearing the Garter Collar and Great George, made by the royal goldsmith Robert Vyner (link). A same type of portrait by Kneller's hand was also known of King George II, portrayed as Prince of Wales (link). These types of portraits were widespread through prints (link). 

 

Condition: (UV-checked)

- The painting in good and hangable condition.

- Relined and cleaned, with some overpaint.

- UV-light shows the typical colour of the varnish (see movie).

- Negligible flaking to the right bottom corner, some negligible paint splashes and superficial scratches.

- Unframed. 

 Work: 89 x 58,5 cm

Frame: 107,5 x 76 cm

The frame with a label referring to Jan Gossaert (1478-1532). Numerous similarities can also be seen with the work of Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502-1550) and surroundings, see for example 'Adoration of the wise men' by Coecke van Aelst and studio (first half of the 16th C., sold at Servarts Beaux-Arts, Brussels, 29 November 2005, lot 20; link). In our opinion, the work is closely related with the oeuvre of the 'Master of 1518', also not coincidentally the master of Jan Gossaert and Pieter Coecke van Aelst and father-in-law of the latter. The name Master of 1518 is applied to a painter to whom many works from Antwerp in the earlier 16th century have been attributed on stylistic grounds. The date of 1518 is derived from the date inscribed on the painted wings of a carved wooden altarpiece of the Life of the Virgin in St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, Germany. Some of his compositions were later repeated by Pieter Coecke van Aelst, which has resulted in a possible identification of the master with Pieter Coecke's father-in-law, Jan van Dornicke. His paintings are primarily crowded depictions of religious scenes combining Gothic and Renaissance styles. He frequently incorporated elaborate clothing and architectural ruins (link and link). Compare for example with 'The adoration of the kings Melchior and Caspar', about 1520-1530, now attributed to the 'Master of 1518' (Meester van 1518) and Pieter Coecke van Aelst (former attribution: Meester van de Utrechtse Aanbidding), Aachen, Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, inv. nr. GK 314 (link).

 

Condition: (UV-checked)

- The painting in general in good and hangable condition.

- Reinforced oak panel (two parts), curved at the top.

- The painting with restorations, executed in different periods of time.

- Retouches, touch-ups and restorations spread across the panel (in an earlier phase there was undoubtedly some flaking paint all-over).

- Most prominent restorations to the figures: the neck and left part of the face of the Madonna and the abdomen and right thigh of Christ.

- The borders with the usual minor damage due to the framing and with accompanying overpaint.

 79 x 62,8 cm

Updated by Ingrid Moortgat and Piet Bakker, edited by Joost Vander Auwera, with an introduction, and Justin Davies. Translated by Michael Lomax, link).

- The largest part with two cracks at the bottom, and one in the left top corner.

The reverse with an old 'Van Geluwe, Brussels, n° 12' label, most probably referring to Gustave Van Geluwe, tailor in the Tervurenlaan and close friends with artists such as Constant Permeke and James Ensor, who often paid with paintings.

A very similar pair (dated 1778) is part of the collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts (inv. nr. G 1979 a-b) and was included in L. De Ren, B. Dewilde, W. Nys, W. Van Dievoet and K. Goubert, Zilver. Kunst. Object. Verhalen uit Leuven, M-Museum, Leuven, 2015, p. 160, cat. nr. 167. A similar baluster shaped pair with doomed foot (but Brussels and 1757) was sold at Christie's London, Sale 12023, Lot 130 (link). The fact that the caster has a handle does however raise some question marks (more than likely a later addition?). 

 

Condition: (UV-checked)

- Both items in good condition with the usual traces of use.

- The caster with negligible dents to the foot rim and to the bottom rim of the cover (barely or not visible since they are hidden in the sloping shape of the item). The inside of the eight corners is a bit deeper, so some are slightly more pronounced.

- The mustard-pot with negligible dents to the body. 

- The question of the handles remains (later additions?).

- The attachment of both parts of the body very slightly visible.

- Both containers with traces of use. One of the containers with a crack of about 3,8 cm and some minor damage.

In 1928 Jean-Lèon Reutter, engineer at Neuchatel, developed the first Atmos pendulum, renamed Atmos 0. This project was based on a clock with few building elements, which was charged through a glass container filled with mercury. Due to the temperature changes, it rotated the cylinder to which was connected and loaded the spring, which would then provide the necessary force for the watch to function.

In 1929, the French Compagnie Générale de Radio put Reutter in charge of a department dedicated to the design, development and production of the Atmos 1.

This model differed from the previous one for greater attention to details and the addition of ammonia to the thermo-sensitive mix that allowed the watch to be charged. The Atmos 1 is probably the rarest model, as there are fewer than 2000 products. It was also the only one to be produced in France.
In 1935 Jaeger-LeCoultre, who had been producing movements for Atmos 1 for a few years, acquired the rights and moved production to Switzerland. After an initial phase, in which Jaeger-LeCoultre patents a new charging system, the production of the Atmos 2 begins. The pendulum remains unchanged stylistically and operatingly, except for some design changes.

The genius of the project, its unique lines, as well as the ability to immediately strike the observer, made the Atmos a legendary pendulum. As a witness to its success, we see that Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Atmos is owned by various figures from the world of politics and entertainment, even becoming one of the official gifts of the Swiss Confederation.
