Lucas VAN UDEN (Antwerp 1595–1672 Antwerp) - Lot 14
Lucas VAN UDEN (Antwerp 1595–1672 Antwerp) Landscape with Horsemen and a Stag. Oil on panel. 41 x 63 cm. Signed and dated lower left: Lvcas van Vden / A° 1645. Note: This elegantly composed landscape, enlivened by a hunting scene, demonstrates Lucas van Uden’s mastery in depicting the Flemish landscape. Together with its now-lost counterpart, it was exhibited in 1965 at the “The Century of Rubens” exhibition at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels. Both paintings are in the photographic archives of the RKD, The Hague, under image numbers 68348 and 68347. Like his contemporaries Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Brueghel the Elder, and David Teniers, Uden was a keen and perceptive observer of nature. Most of his paintings are based on sketches van Uden made during excursions in the Antwerp region. His style is strongly influenced by the innovative landscapes of Rubens, in whose studio he worked for a time. Although van Uden often collaborated with other artists, notably David Teniers the Younger and Jan Wildens, the landscape and figures are likely his own work. Provenance: Belgian private collection Exhibition: The Century of Rubens, Royal Museums of Fine Arts, Brussels, October 15–December 12, 1965, cat. no. 282a and its counterpart cat. no. 282b with illustration.
