Isac Vromans Sous-bois Still Life with a Nest, Dragonfly, Butterfly, Lizard, and white Azaleas Oil on canvas (relined). 80 x 65 cm. Provenance Collection of Queen Charlotte Auguste of England.- Lempertz auction 540, Cologne, 14.11.1974, lot 203. - Private collection, Great Britain. As in the present work, Isac Vroman frequently painted still lifes within the context of nature. He often painted these kinds of so-called sous-bois still lifes, which gained in popularity especially through the painter Otto Marseus van Schrieck. These still lifes differ from other compositional styles in which the objects depicted are typically arranged indoors and in which artificial bouquets of flowers, food and domestic items are depicted. Here the artist has created a seemingly peaceful and idyllic forest scene. A bird rests quietly in its nest while a peacock butterfly flies by and white azalea flowers grow from a mossy tree. On closer inspection, however, and typical of Roman's composition, is the presence of a small reptile, a lizard, crawling unseen to its nest. This detail serves as a memento mori, a reminder of death. The presence of such a symbol binds the present painting to the great traditions of still life, which have made great use of this symbolism. Most characteristically, this is found in the image of a skull or a fly and serves the viewer as a virtuous reminder of the sins of superficiality and frivolity. We would like to thank Dr Fred Meijer for confirming the authenticity of this work upon examination of high-resolution photographs. Isac Vromans Waldbodenstillleben mit Vogelnest, Libelle, Pfauenfalter, Eidechse und weißen Azalee Öl auf Leinwand (doubliert). 80 x 65 cm. Provenienz Sammlung der Königin Charlotte Auguste von England. - 540. Lempertz-Auktion, Köln, 14.11.1974, Lot 203. - Privatsammlung, Großbritannien. Wie auch unser Werk zeigt, widmete sich Isac Vromans Stillleben, die er in den Kontext der Natur einbettete. Er malte sogenannte Waldbodenstillleben, die besonders durch den Maler Otto Marseus van Schrieck Bekanntheit erlangten. Diese Stillleben unterscheiden sich von anderen Kompositionsstilen, bei denen die Szenerie typischerweise in Innenräumen platziert ist und künstliche Blumensträuße, Nahrungsmittel und Objekte dargestellt werden. Der Künstler hat hier eine scheinbar friedliche und idyllische Waldszene geschaffen. Ein Vogel ruht ruhig in seinem Nest, während ein Pfauenfalter vorbeifliegt und weiße Azaleenblüten aus einem moosbewachsenen Baum wachsen. Bei näherer Betrachtung jedoch, und typisch für Vromans Komposition, ist die Anwesenheit eines kleinen Reptils, einer Echse, die ungesehen zum Nest kriecht. Dieses Detail dient als Memento Mori, als Erinnerung an den Tod. Das Vorhandensein eines solchen Symbols bindet das vorliegende Gemälde an die großen Traditionen des Stilllebens, welche sich dieser Symbolik in hohem Maße bedient haben. Am klassischsten findet sich dieses durch das Bild eines Schädels oder einer Fliege und dient dem Betrachter als tugendhafte Erinnerung an die Sünden der Oberflächlichkeit und Frivolität. Wir danken Dr. Fred Meijer für die Bestätigung der Authentizität anhand hochauflösender Fotografien.
