Detail of The Feast of Gods, 1620-1625. By Frans Francken the Younger and Abraham Govaerts, Flemish painters.

This is the retinue of the married couple, Neptune and Amphitrite. They’re surrounded by what are likely tritons and naiads, and one of the naiads on the left is painted in a style very reminiscent of the two tailed siren, who was likely inspired by the Scythian anguiped goddess. This painting caught my eye because two tailed sirens are rarely depicted in oil paintings. The other time I’ve seen one is in this Italian portrait. 

A similar painting is Frans II Francken, Still life of shells with the feasts of the gods, c. 1615.

The Archdukes Albert and Isabella Visiting the Collection of Pierre Roose

Artists: Hieronymus Francken II (Flemish, 1578-1623); Jan Brueghel the Elder (Flemish, 1568-1625)

Date: c. 1621-1623

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, Maryland, United States

Description

This painting of a private gallery or cabinet of the Flemish collector and statesman Pierre Roose who lived in Brussels is focused on a visit by Archdukes Albert and Isabella, the Habsburg governors of the Southern Netherlands. Isabella is seated, while her husband stands to her right and their host, Pierre Roose, behind.

The walls are covered with paintings by Flemish artists. The sculpture displayed throughout is from various schools, but includes the bronze "Allegory of Architecture" by Giambologna, a Flemish sculptor who made his fortune in Florence. A painted "Allegory of Iconoclasm," depicting people who destroy art as animals, rests against a chair. Visitors examining paintings and objects on the tables draw the viewer's attention to these objects, as well as shells and a stuffed bird of paradise, from the Spice Islands. Pets include a monkey, kept out of mischief on a chain, and a dog, apparently with two heads (an alteration by the artist that has "bled" through). The globe-like object on the table at the left is one of Cornelis Drebbels' attempts at a perpetual-motion clock; the principles which ran it are now lost.

NERDANEL Flemish Painters

There she is!! It’s been ages since I drew her ^^ this time tho, she’s in the clothes of Isabella van Bourbon (1436-1465). The painting of her I chose has no known painter, but it’s been guessed to have come from the Flemish school! It took me ages to draw the hair so I’m going let my hand rest now for a bit ^^
