AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Flemish School – 17th century
***A brawl in front of a tavern***
Oil on canvas
Dimensions : 73 × 103 cm
Important Flemish 17th-century genre painting, depicting a brawl in front of a tavern, an emblematic subject of the Antwerp tradition inspired by the great masters of genre painting.
almost identical composition (movement, groups, barrels, collective violence),
- Typical staging (a compact crush, stacked figures),
- Large format (73 × 103 cm, in keeping with Craesbeeck's large-scale scenes),
- Superior to a mere artist.
The composition is dense, dynamic, and theatrical, depicting a group of characters caught in a moment of extreme tension. The figures, treated with strong expressiveness, stand out for their broad gestures, caricatured faces, and the variety of attitudes—major characteristics of Flemish genre painting.
The warm palette (ochres, browns, deep reds), paired with a mastered chiaroscuro, gives depth and relief to the scene. The touch is energetic and confident, signaling an experienced hand, familiar with the Flemish models of the 17th century. The abundance of anecdotal details (barrels, maps, accessories) strengthens the narrative and moral reading of the work.
There is a letter “W” painted on a barrel (bottom right), which could correspond to a brand or partial signature.
