Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Jan Weenix (Amsterdam 1642 (?) - 1719)
A portrait of the merchant A. van Goor by a harbour, with a servant, a dog, and a monkey signed and dated upper left: J Weenix / f1686-; and inscribed on the paper in the hand of the servant: [...] Sig AV.Goor / [...] oil on canvas, 78.5 x 69.8 cm.; 30⅞ x 27½ in.; Signed and dated, this portrait of A. van Goor shows the ship owner and merchant proudly gesturing towards a harbour, where a large ship is docked. Little is known about A. van Goor (sometimes misspelled in the sales entries as 'Van Gool') but here we see him dressed in rich yellow and blue silks, beneath which he wears an undergarment finely embroidered in gold. The composition is made up of several recognisable components: a colossal statue of Giambologna's sculpture of the Rape of the Sabines is visible in the middle distance (Loggia, Florence), the spaniel on the right is based on a drawing by Weenix in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem, and the monkey is directly lifted from his striking oil sketch in the Riksmuseum, Amsterdam. Dr Fred Meijer has pointed out similarities between this portrait and Weenix's slightly later portrait of Abraham van Bronckhorst in the Amsterdam Historisch Museum, dated 1688. |
