Balthasar Beschey
[Saleroom Notice]
(Antwerp 1708–1776)
The Virgin and Child with dancing Angels,
oil on panel, 49 x 64.5 cm, framed
We are grateful to Klaus Ertz for confirming the attribution of the present painting to Balthasar Beschey. A written certificate (March 2020) is available.
Ertz writes: ‘In the eighteenth century, Flanders no longer had such great geniuses as Peter Paul Rubens or Jan Breughel the Elder had been in the seventeenth century. And yet the eighteenth century was rich in painters like Beschey, who, familiar with their history and having absorbed such given elements as colours, forms, themes, and contents, were capable of developing from this their personal style while skilfully mastering the aspect of craftsmanship. Balthasar Beschey stood in a long line of painters leading from Boucher and Lancret to the Frenchman Dominique Ingres and which after the latter has been continued to this day within a traditional academic branch. He was one of the last Flemish traditionalists and part of a development that was radically broken up towards the end of the eighteenth century by painter-geniuses like the Spaniard Francisco de Goya or the Englishman William Turner.’
The painting is signed lower right: B. Beschey.
