Around 1535 -1575 · Antwerp, monumental cuisine and sacred scene
Fish, game, meat, bread and utensils invade the foreground; Christ, Martha and Mary seem relegated to the bottom. In 1568, Beuckelaer made this imbalance the very heart of the parable.
Trained with Pieter Aertsen, his uncle by marriage, Joachim Beuckelaer developed a new genre in Antwerp where markets and cuisines took on a monumental scale while the religious episode slipped into depth. In Christ at Home with Martha and Mary, dated 1568, the first plan abundantly inventories food and domestic work: poultry, hare, fish, bread, containers, basket, wine and cauldron. In the background, Jesus reminds Marthe, absorbed in the service, that Mary chose listening and greeting. The architecture inspired by Serlio discreetly guides the eye towards this small scene. The profusion therefore does not erase the message; it tests our be careful how the tasks test that of Marthe. The "Joachim Bueckelaer" selection notably compares Christ at Home with Marthe and Mary. Its reading favors details.
The spectator first resembles Marthe: attracted by everything that must be prepared, counted and served, he must learn to find the word almost hidden deep down.

Trained with Pieter Aertsen, his uncle by marriage, Joachim Beuckelaer developed a new genre in Antwerp where markets and cuisines took on a monumental scale while the religious episode slipped into depth. In Christ at Home with Martha and Mary, dated 1568, the first plan abundantly inventories food and domestic work: poultry, hares, fish, bread, containers, baskets, wine and cauldron. In the background, Jesus reminds Marthe, absorbed in service, that Mary chose listening and greeting. The inspired architecture of Serlio therefore discreetly guides the eye towards this small scene. Profusion therefore does not erase the message; it tests our attention as tasks test that of Marthe.
