Wtewael (or Uytewael), Joachim, Dutch figure
painter. After travelling in Italy and France c.1588-92, he settled in
his native Utrecht, where he became one of the leading Dutch exponents
of Mannerism. His highly distinctive. charmingly artificial style, which
remained untouched by the naturalistic developments happening around
him, was characterized by acidic colours and elegant figures in wilfully
distorted poses. The best collection of his work, including a
selfportrait (1601), is in the Centraal Museum, Utrecht.

Occasionally it is hard
to distinguish market scenes from the genre of early kitchen scenes
which also tended to display still-life features. Similar to the market
stall, they often show tables and sideboards with clusters of baskets
and bowls full of fruit and vegetables.
In Wtewael’s Kitchen
Scene the real subject is supposed to be the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke
16:19-31). This shows that in the 16th and 17th centuries the biblical
motifs of feasts were used by painters as pretexts for reflection on
consumer habits and attitudes towards the new wealth which resulted from
improvements in agricultural production.
