JPEG file comment | Provenance Anonymous sale [Stoner and Evans, London]; Christie's, London, 5 July 1926, lot 88, as Valckenburg [sic] (19 gns. to Leger). (Probably) Anonymous sale; Lepke, Berlin, 24 May 1927, lot 100, as Jan Brueghel II, where erroneously catalogued as on wood. By descent through the parents of the present owner. --------------------------------------------------- Notes The present painting, last seen in public in 1927, is a highly characteristic and well-preserved work by Pieter Schoubroeck, who was born in a small village near Frankenthal. His parents married in Frankenthal in 1567 and Pieter must have been born shortly after. This birth date concords with the fact that he was active as a painter and draughtsman from 1595 onwards. Actually a German master, Schoubroeck's work has always been discussed in relation to the development of the Flemish landscape tradition. He is not reported to have travelled to Flanders, but his parents were Flemish emigrées connected to painters such as Gillis van Coninxloo and various members of the Valckenborch family. A drawing in the Fondation Custodia in Paris is inscribed 'peeter schoubrock Romae 1595' is evidence that the artist spent time in Italy, where he must have become familiar with the art of Paul Bril and Jan Brueghel the Elder. Pieter Schoubroeck's Tower of Babel was executed during the first years of the seventeenth century. Several landscape elements such as the gnarled tree trunks and the spiky foliage, as well as the distribution of light, are very similar to a Landscape with travellers dated 1606, also painted on copper, previously with Johnny van Haeften (Dutch and Flemish Old Master Paintings, exhibition catalogue, London, 1999, no. 20). Minkowski (op. cit., 1959, p. 68, no. 220; and 1991, p. 200, no. 309) reproduces another version after the present work, also by Schoubroeck, on panel, measuring 51 x 95 cm., last seen in Munich (Anonymous sale; Hugo Helbing, Munich, 1 March 1932, lot 488). To judge from the photograph in the Helbing sale catal |
