Northern Caravaggesque Painter, Circa 1630, Young Man Playing The Tenor Recorder
Northern
Caravaggesque painter, circa 1630
A young man playing the tenor recorder
Oil on panel : 90,4 X 71,8 cm
Unsigned
Frame : 112,4 X 93,8 cm
This is a typical enigmatic Caravaggesque painting: a strongly-lit, flamboyantly dressed young man wearing an exuberant feathered hat plays a recorder for two young girls who are listening in the right background. In the foreground on the table an abundant assortment of cards and clay pipes.
Another version of the same composition, from the Luigi Koelliker collection, was sold at Sotheby’s London in 2008, as by an unidentified Flemish or German painter, circa 1630. It is very similar to our painting, but it lacks the two girls at right.
Jan Kosten from the RKD, The Hague, has in 2010 attributed that painting to Cecco del Caravaggio, he dates it circa 1625.
