Abraham Brueghel (1631 – 1690)
Abraham Brueghel (1631-c.1690) was a Flemish Baroque painter from a renowned art family. Known for vibrant floral still lifes, fruit compositions & decorative Italianate style. Key role in Naples' still life development.
Abraham Brueghel is recorded in Rome for the first time in 1659, and his activity as a still-life painter is documented at least by 1663/64.22 Yet his first extant signed and dated painting, of a woman taking fruit from a ledge, in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, is of 1669.23 The present painting of the following year is the artist’s second extant work to bear a date. In contrast to the Louvre painting, which has an extravagant display of fruit, it is restrained and modest in ambition; and while there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the signature, it is perhaps rather hesitantly written and seems ambitious for the scope of the work. However, the painting is comparable to that signed and dated in the following year in the Galleria Sabauda, Turin, published by Hoogewerff.24 Gregory Martin, 2022
