literature and food |
Netherlandish painter of large still lifes, market and kitchen pieces –
active in Antwerp. Beuckelaer was the nephew and pupil of
Pieter Aertsen, and
he followed his uncle’s preference for scenes in which a religious
subject is relegated to the background by the still life or genre
content (The Cook,
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna). He seems to have been the first
painter to depict fish stalls.

The
Well-Stocked Kitchen
1566
Oil on panel, 171 x 250 cm
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam |
|
|
In this well-stocked kitchen, in which the
disciples Peter and John are keeping themselves busy, the preparation
for the meal are dominated by two preoccupied cooks. Beuckelaer
concentrated mainly on the convincing imitation of textures: textiles,
vegetables, fruit, poultry and other foods. In his perfectionism he can
be considered the forerunner of the 17th-century masters of still-life.
In the background of the painting is the story of Christ in the house of
Martha and Mary.
