BY BARTHOLOMEUS ASSTEYN (1607 - 1669-77X) 1633 Both oil on oak panel These two charming panels are one of the very few preserved pairs by Bartholomeus Assteyn. One shows an assortment of apricots, cherries, currants, a peach, and a pink rose. The pendant also features a rose, supplemented with the same selection of fruit, and a pear. A Dordrecht master, Assteyn took his cue from his colleagues of the so-called Bosschaert Dynasty, of whom Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder (1573-1621), originally from Antwerp, was the foremost exponent and a leading pioneer of still life painting. Another artist from this group, whose work served Assteyn as a source of inspiration, was Bosschaert’s pupil Balthasar van der Ast (1593/94-1657), who worked successively in Bergen-op-Zoom, Utrecht and Delft. Assteyn’s productive career spans a long period, his earliest still life being of 1628 and his lasted dated of 1669. A remark by Arnold Houbraken in his second volume of the Groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen of 1719 clarifies that Assteyn must have been enormously productive, his works being as ubiquitous as those by Joost Droochsloot. Nowadays, however, Assteyn’s oeuvre is exceptionally small, counting no more than 27 paintings, the present pair included. Assteyn painted baskets of fruit, vases of flowers and game. All his paintings are signed and dated. These small works are notable for their understated palette and naïve charm going hand in hand with the master’s habitual close attention to detail.

- Sobre el artistaBartholomeus Abrahamsz. Assteyn (1607 en Dordrecht - 1669/1677 probablemente Dordrecht) fue un pintor holandés. Bartholomeus Assteyn era hijo de un pintor de Gante, Abraham Bartholomeusz. En el año 1631 se convirtió en miembro del gremio de pintores Saint Lukas de Dordrecht. Assteyn vivía con su familia en Vriesestraat. En 1651 fue registrado como contador de la hermandad de pintores locales. Se desconoce la fecha exacta de su muerte; su última obra autenticada data del año 1669. Assteyn fue un artista productivo. Aunque no se le considera innovador, creó bodegones dignos de mención. Las composiciones de Assteyn se ven particularmente afectadas por Johannes Bosschaert, y su técnica de pintura recuerda a Balthasar van der Ast.
