Artist Biography
Nicasius Bernaerts: A Flemish Master of Animal Art
Nicasius Bernaerts, Monsù Nicasio or simply Nicasius (15 March 1620, Antwerp – 16 September 1678, Paris) was a Flemish painter of animals, hunting pieces and flowers who had an international career in Italy and Paris. He worked in his native Antwerp, Italy and France. In the final part of his career he worked for the French court and provided tapestry designs to the Gobelins Manufactory in Paris.- Early Life & Training: Bernaerts was born in Antwerp, a city renowned for its artistic heritage. He began his artistic journey under the tutelage of Frans Snyders, arguably the most celebrated animal painter of his time in Flanders. Snyders’s masterful depictions of wildlife and hunting scenes profoundly influenced Bernaerts's style and technique.
- Italian Period & Recognition: Following his training, Bernaerts embarked on a formative trip to Italy where he adopted the moniker ‘Monsù Nicasio’. His work quickly gained acclaim, attracting the patronage of Ferdinando II de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, demonstrating the burgeoning interest in Flemish art within the Italian Renaissance.
- French Career & Royal Patronage: Bernaerts subsequently relocated to France around 1643 and established himself as a prolific artist in Paris for several years. He was admitted into the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1663, securing royal commissions that cemented his reputation as a leading figure in French Baroque art. Notably, Louis XIV entrusted him with the task of painting animals from his newly formed menagerie at Versailles – a monumental undertaking reflecting the grandeur of the monarchy and Bernaerts’s skill in capturing animal anatomy and behavior.
- Tapestry Design & Artistic Legacy: Bernaerts's contribution extended beyond individual paintings; he served as a designer for the Gobelins Manufactory, producing stunning tapestry panels that showcased his artistic vision. Furthermore, he worked for the royal real estate office (garde-meuble de la couronne), supplying animal studies and artworks to adorn the palaces of Versailles and Fontainebleau.
- Later Life & Artistic Influence: Bernaerts’s later years were marked by hardship due to alcoholism, tragically diminishing his artistic output. He died in poverty in 1678, leaving behind a legacy as one of Flanders's most accomplished animal painters. Alexandre-François desportes, Bernaerts’s pupil, carried forward his stylistic innovations and contributed to the continuation of Flemish animal art traditions.
