JACOBUS LINTHORST (DUTCH 1745-1815), A STILL LIFE OF FRUIT AND FLOWERS

JACOBUS LINTHORST (DUTCH 1745-1815) A STILL LIFE OF FRUIT AND FLOWERS Oil on panel Signed and dated '1809' (lower right, to the ledge) 73 x 53.5cm (28½ x 21in.) Provenance: Private collection, UK Sale, Sotheby's, London, Nineteenth Century European Paintings, Drawings and Watercolours, 18-19 June 1986, lot 126 Richard Green, London, 1986 Private collection, UK Jacobus Linthorst was born in Amsterdam and spent all his life in his native town, where he died in 1815. In June of 1789, he was registered as a citizen and painter and during the same month he joined the Amsterdam guild of St Luke. Nothing is known about Linthorst’s artistic training. He may have chosen a career as a painter somewhat later in life, since his earliest known works stem from 1780, when he was already thirty-five years old. Like most still-life painters of his day, he was inspired by the work of Jan van Huijsum (1682-1749) and his style is clearly related to that of his contemporaries Jan van Os (1744-1808) and Paul Theodoor van Brussel (1754-1795). Linthorst himself was the teacher of the still-life painter Jan Evert Morel (1769-1808). Condition Report: The panel has bowed slightly but is providing good support. Some minor abrasions to the extreme edges and a small loss to the upper right edge. Craquelure is present across the image but the surface is stable overall. Inspection under UV reveals small areas of retouching throughout, including restorations to the edges which are likely to be repairs to abrasions caused by a previous frame. An area is present to the lower left corner and various infills to the background. Strengthening is scattered across the floral arrangement. The work appears to have been cleaned and re-varnished.
