Moscow museum gathers all Russia's Jordaens works
(18 Sep 2019) LEAD IN:
Moscow's Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts is drawing together all works by Flemish painter Jacob Jordaens that are owned by Russian museums.
Jordaens was one of the most prominent painters of the Flemish school, alongside Rubens and van Dyck.
STORY-LINE:
Russian Jordaens is an exhibit of all the painters' works owned by Russian museums.
Earlier this year, 18 paintings were first shown to the public at The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
Now, 18 paintings and 31 drawings have arrived in Moscow.
Our task was to show - using eloquent and characteristic exemplars - the artistic evolution of this wonderful Flemish painter. And to show all his masterpieces, including paintings and drawings, owned by Russian museums, explains curator Vadim Sadkov.
For the first time since 1794, Jordaens' The Lamentation has left St. Petersburg, where it hangs at Saint Alexander Nevsky Monastery.
It was Empress of Russia, Catherine the Great, who purchased Jordaens' monumental The Lamentation from a Berlin collection.
She later donated it to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg.
It was always thought that the painting was by Flemish master Rubens, but several years ago, Dutch art historian Arnout Balis identified that was in fact by Jordaens.
The works of Flemish artists such as Jordaens were heavily influenced by Rubens.
Many painters trained at the master's studio, including young Anthony van Dyck, who went on to become one of Flemish Baroque's greatest.
It's not the only recent discovery at the exhibit.
During the restoration process of Christ and the Samaritan Woman, specialists were able to find the signature of Jordaens' son, also called Jacob.
In the process of restoration, a signature of the son of Jordaens was discovered, says Vadim Sadkov.
His name is also Jacob, but he is Junior. And it is written there - Jacob Jordaens Junior. And this painting is yet the only one valid work of the son. And this painting belongs to the museum in Nizhny Novgorod and is now shown here.
Meleager and Atalanta was always considered to be a copy of a Jordaens paintings, but - again during the restoration process - specialists discovered the painter's signature.
Jordaens was born in Antwerp, Belgium in in 1593.
He was a student of Adam van Noort, a Belgium painter, who also taught Rubens.
Jordaens is famous for painting religious stories, metaphors on life and people of his time, as well as collaborating with artists such as Andries Daniels and Paul De Vos.
These are the scenes from the Old Testament, allegoric portraits, portraits commissioned by burghers of Antwerpen, as well as his collaborations with other artists, including still life painters, says Sadkov.
These paintings show the history of Russian art collection.
Empress Catherine the Great began buying Flemish artists for her palaces.
Although, she was not the only one interested in the Dutch masters. Russian aristocrats followed her example and started to collect paintings of Flemish masters, including Jordaens.
Odysseus and Polyphemus, a painting from a collection of Rubens, was brought to Russia in the 18th century and was in hands of a nobel family of Musin-Pushkin, then belonged to a Hermitage curator Osip Braz.
After Braz was sent to a Soviet prison camp, the state confiscated his collection.
Today, it's in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts' collection.

Peter Paul Rubens (28 June 1577 -- 30 May 1640), was a Flemish Baroque painter, and a proponent of an extravagant Baroque style that emphasised movement, colour, and sensuality. He is well known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.
In addition to running a large studio in Antwerp that produced paintings popular with nobility and art collectors throughout Europe, Rubens was a classically educated humanist scholar and diplomat who was knighted by both Philip IV, King of Spain, and Charles I, King of England.
Rubens was a prolific artist. His commissioned works were mostly religious subjects, history paintings, which included mythological subjects, and hunt scenes. He painted portraits, especially of friends, and self-portraits, and in later life painted several landscapes. Rubens designed tapestries and prints, as well as his own house. He also oversaw the ephemeral decorations of the Joyous Entry into Antwerp by the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand in 1635.
Paintings can be divided into three categories in his workshop --- those he painted by himself, those he painted in part (mainly hands and faces), and those he only supervised. He had, as was usual at the time, a large workshop with many apprentices and students, some of whom, such as Anthony Van Dyck, became famous in their own right. He also often sub-contracted elements such as animals or still-life in large compositions to specialists such as Frans Snyders, or other artists such as Jacob Jordaens.
The Value of Peter Paul Rubens Paintings
At a Sotheby's auction on 10 July 2002, Rubens's newly discovered painting Massacre of the Innocents sold for £49.5 million ($76.2 million) to Lord Thomson. It is a current record for an Old Master painting. The 1976--1977 academic year at the College of Europe was named in his honour.

Peter Paul Rubens Quotes
I paint a woman's big rounded buttocks so that I want to reach out and stroke the dimpled flesh.
Every child has the spirit of creation. The rubbish of life often exterminates the spirit through plague and a souls own wretchedness.
Painting a young maiden is similar to cavorting with great abandon. It is the finest refreshment.
My passion comes from the heavens, not from earthly musings.
I'm just a simple man standing alone with my old brushes, asking God for inspiration.
Each morning I shoo the beggars and cripples from my door stoop. If God wanted these vermin to eat surely he would provide them with substance.

SUMMARY
=======
Brussels (French: Bruxelles [bʁysɛl] (listen); Dutch: Brussel [ˈbrʏsəl] (listen)), officially the Brussels-Capital Region (French: Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, Dutch: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest), is a region of Belgium comprising 19 municipalities, including the City of Brussels, which is the capital of Belgium. The Brussels-Capital Region is located in the central portion of the country and is a part of both the French Community of Belgium and the Flemish Community, but is separate from the Flemish Region (in which it forms an enclave) and the Walloon Region. Brussels is the most densely populated and the richest region in Belgium in terms of GDP per capita. It covers 161 km2 (62 sq mi), a relatively small area compared to the two other regions, and has a population of 1.2 million. The metropolitan area of Brussels counts over 2.1 million people, which makes it the largest in Belgium. It is also part of a large conurbation extending towards the Flemish cities of Ghent, Antwerp and Leuven, home to over 5 million people.Brussels grew from a small rural settlement on the river Senne to become an important city-region in Europe. Since the end of the Second World War, it has been a major centre for international politics and the home of numerous international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants. Brussels is the de facto capital of the European Union, as it hosts a number of principal EU institutions (the two other capitals are Luxembourg and Strasbourg) and its name is sometimes used metonymically to describe the EU and its institutions. The secretariat of the Benelux and headquarters of NATO are also located in Brussels. As the economic capital of Belgium and one of the top financial centres of Western Europe with Euronext Brussels, it is classified as an Alpha global city. Brussels is a hub for rail, road and air traffic, sometimes earning the moniker Crossroads of Europe. The Brussels Metro is the only rapid transit system in Belgium. In addition, both airport, which is based in the Flemish region and railway stations are the largest and busiest in the country.Historically Dutch-speaking, Brussels saw a language shift to French from the late 19th century. French is now spoken by about 75% of the population. Brussels is bilingual in Dutch and French, as Dutch is spoken by a large part of the population as the first or second language, and is the majority language of Belgium. Brussels is also increasingly becoming multilingual. English is spoken as a second language by nearly a third of the population and a large number of migrants and expatriates speak other languages.Brussels is known for its cuisine and gastronomy, as well as its historical and architectural landmarks; some of them are registered as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Main attractions include its historic Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Atomium, and cultural institutions such as La Monnaie and the Museums of Art and History. It is also a capital of the comic strip.

SUMMARY
=======
Sir Peter Paul Rubens (; Dutch: [ˈrybə(n)s]; 28 June 1577 – 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist. He is considered the most influential artist of Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens' highly charged compositions reference erudite aspects of classical and Christian history. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasized movement, color, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens specialized in making altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.
In addition to running a large studio in Antwerp that produced paintings popular with nobility and art collectors throughout Europe, Rubens was a classically educated humanist scholar and diplomat who was knighted by both Philip IV of Spain and Charles I of England. Rubens was a prolific artist. The catalogue of his works by Michael Jaffé lists 1,403 pieces, excluding numerous copies made in his workshop.His commissioned works were mostly history paintings, which included religious and mythological subjects, and hunt scenes. He painted portraits, especially of friends, and self-portraits, and in later life painted several landscapes. Rubens designed tapestries and prints, as well as his own house. He also oversaw the ephemeral decorations of the royal entry into Antwerp by the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria in 1635.
His drawings are predominantly very forceful and without great detail. He also made great use of oil sketches as preparatory studies. He was one of the last major artists to make consistent use of wooden panels as a support medium, even for very large works, but he used canvas as well, especially when the work needed to be sent a long distance. For altarpieces he sometimes painted on slate to reduce reflection problems.
