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 artistaBartholomeus Abrahamsz. Assteyn (1607 em Dordrecht - 1669/1677 provavelmente Dordrecht) foi um pintor holandês. Bartholomeus Assteyn era filho de um pintor de Ghent, Abraham Bartholomeusz. No ano de 1631 ele se tornou membro da guilda de pintores Saint Lukas de Dordrecht. Assteyn morava com sua família em Vriesestraat. Em 1651 foi registrado como contador da irmandade de pintores local. A data exata de sua morte não é conhecida; seu último trabalho autenticado data do ano de 1669. Assteyn era um artista produtivo. Embora não seja considerado inovador, ele criou naturezas mortas dignas de nota. As composições de Assteyn são particularmente afetadas por Johannes Bosschaert, e sua técnica de pintura lembra Balthasar van der Ast.
