Attributed to Michele Desubleo, called Michele Fiammingo


Attributed to Michele Desubleo, called Michele Fiammingo - Old Master Paintings

(Maubeuge 1601–1676 Parma)
Joseph interpreting the Dreams,
oil on canvas, 96 x 114 cm, framed

Provenance:
Private collection, Hamburg (for circa 50 years, as Guercino)

We are grateful to Professor Ugo Ruggeri, Dr. Jan Kosten of the RKD, The Hague and Dr. John T. Spike, who have independently suggested an attribution to Nicolas Régnier or Michele Desubleo. We also thank Dr. Tico Seifert for his help in interpreting the iconography of the present painting. Annick Lemoine has proposed an alternative attribution to Régnier’s son-in-law, Daniel van den Dyck.

Following his apprenticeship under Abraham Janssens, Michele Desubleo went to Rome when still a young man, accompanied by his half-brother Nicolas Régnier. Later he was admitted as an assistant to the workshop of Guido Reni in Bologna. After a sojourn in Veneto, he was first mentioned in Parma in 1665. In his art, Desubleo never forgot his Franco-Flemish roots. However, unlike Nicolas Régnier he only had little impact on his French contemporaries. The sumptuousness paired with a slightly melancholic general atmosphere is a typical feature of Desubleo’s paintings.
