Gillis van Schendel (Schyndel) 
(ca. 1635 - 1678/9) d. J.

signed

 

  

Brasilianische Gebirgslandschaft mit Bergziege und Gebirgswasserfall  ca 1660 - 1670
Brasilian Landscape with mountaingoats and a  riverfall.
Oil on canvas 119 x 99 cm


(The scene may be a view of the waterfalls in the virgin forests in Teresópolis which runs through the Parquequer river, near Recife, Brasil)

Judging from Topography and vegetation  it seems certain that it is a scene of the dutch brasilian colonies.

Anhand der Topographie und der Vegetation erscheint es als sicher , daß es sich um eine Landschaft in der Anfang des 17.Jh. hinzuerworbenen hollaendischen Kolonie Brasilien in Recife handelt. 

Es gibt zwei Maler, den Vater und den Sohn mit gleichen Namen. Der Vater starb vor 1661.
There are two painters by the same name, the father who died before 1661, and the son.

      Dieses Gemaelde datierbar ca 1660-70 stammt vermutlich von der Hand des Sohnes.
This painting which dates  from 1660 - 70 is most likly done by  the hand of the son.

Der Kunsthistoriker Erik Larsen schrieb: /the arthistorian Erik Larson wrote : " aside from the well-known artists, other painters, draughtsman and engravers must have been gravitating toward this most interesting and stimulating little Court. They were doubtless entranced by the great adventure, by the opportunity to interpret exotic themes, either on the spot or after sketches made in these foreign parts and  vicariously used after their return a patria "
(Lit.: Some seventeen-century paintings of Brazil," The Connoisseur, October 1970, S. 130)
Only a few paintings by this rare artist are kown, and now in the Museums of Budapest, Warschau and Bristol.

Ausstellungskatalog Utrecht und Koeln, 1987, cat. no. 36, illustriert)
