English: Caspar van den Hoecke (Antwerp 1585 - 1648)
The rich man and Lazarus Oil on panel 75,5 x 107,4 cm; 29¾ by 42¼ in. This composition, by the Flemish painter Caspar Van den Hoecke (active 1585-1648) in the seventeenth century, depicts the biblical story of Lazarus and the rich man. Caspar van den Hoecke was a Flemish painter mainly active in Antwerp. He trained in the workshop of his father, Joris van den Hoecke, painter and engraver, and became a member of the Guild of St Luke in 1603. Although his artistic career was relatively short, his work had an important impact on Flemish art of the seventeenth century. This composition illustrates the parallel lives of the rich man and Lazarus. We see the rich man surrounded by guests feasting at a generously laden table, while Lazarus, afflicted with sores, is at his door, hoping for some leftovers from the feast. However, once they are in the other world, the rich man begs Lazarus to alleviate his suffering with a little water. Abraham reminds him that in lifetime he had enjoyed great comforts, while Lazarus had endured terrible suffering. This parable points out the eternal consequences of our actions in the hereafter and underlines the importance of charity and compassion towards the most destitute. This work highlights the artist’s technical skills. The scene is brought to life by the variety of colours, the play of textures in the textiles, dishes and metal elements, the marked contrasts and the effects of light. Other versions of this painting exist, one of which was put up for sale in Paris in 2005. It is now listed in the database of the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (No 116557).Français : Caspar van den Hoecke (Anvers 1585 - 1648)
Lazare et le mauvais riche Huile sur panneau 75,5 x 107,4 cm ; 29¾ by 42¼ in. Cette composition, réalisée par le peintre flamand Caspar Van den Hoecke (act.1585-1648) au XVIIe siècle, est une représentation de l'histoire biblique de Lazare et du mauvais riche. Caspar van den Hoecke était un peintre flamand principalement actif à Anvers. Il a été formé dans l'atelier de son père, Joris van den Hoecke, peintre et graveur, et a été membre de la guilde de Saint-Luc à Anvers à partir de 1603. Bien que sa carrière artistique ait été relativement courte, son travail a eu un impact important sur l'art flamand du XVIIe siècle. Cette composition représente la coexistence entre un homme riche et Lazare. On peut voir le riche entouré de convives festoyant autour d'une table généreusement remplie, tandis que Lazare, affligé de plaies, se trouve à sa porte, espérant obtenir quelques restes du festin. Cependant, une fois dans l'au-delà, le riche implore Lazare de soulager sa souffrance avec un peu d'eau. Abraham lui rappelle alors que durant sa vie, il a joui d'un grand confort tandis que Lazare a enduré d'immenses souffrances. Cette parabole met en évidence les conséquences éternelles de nos actions dans l'au-delà. Elle souligne l'importance de la charité et de la compassion envers les plus démunis. Cette œuvre met en évidence les compétences techniques de l'artiste. On peut observer une variété de couleurs, ainsi qu'un jeu de textures entre les textiles, les plats et les éléments en métal, des contrastes importants et des effets de lumière qui donnent vie à la scène. Il existe d'autres versions de ce tableau, l'une d'entre elles a été mise en vente à Paris en 2005. Elle est actuellement répertoriée dans la base de données du Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (No 116557). |
