VICTOR WOLFVOET the Younger
(1612 Antwerp 1652)
The Judgement of Paris.
Oil on copper.
36.7 × 50.7 cm.
Provenance:
- European collection.
Victor Wolfvoet the Younger is known for his paintings on copper after works by Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640). The present work is also based on a prototype by the master, now in the National Gallery in London (oil on panel, 144.8 × 193.7 cm, inv. no. NG194).
Striking details, particularly the eyes, however, point to paintings by Johanna Vergouwen (1630–1714), who may possibly be considered the creator of the painting. Comparable works are in the Museo Nacional de San Carlos in Mexico City (see Exh. cat. Unforgettable: Women Artists from Antwerp to Amsterdam, 1600–1750, ed. Virginia Treanor and Frederica Van Dam, Veurne 2026, pp. 88–89, ill. 43–44).
