Antwerp, 1664 - around 1708 · Animated landscapes, battles and biblical journeys
Jacob, Rachel, servants and herds cross a Flemish landscape with distant accents: Van der Meiren makes the biblical story a caravan of figures and animals.
Jan Baptist van der Meiren was born in Antwerp in 1664 and probably died there around 1708, although the end of his career remains debated. Received master at the guild of Saint Luke of Antwerp in 1685, he specialized in small animated landscapes, Italianate ports and battle scenes. A stay in Vienna is documented at the end of the century. Jacob's Journey, painted in the late 17th or early 18th century, is an oil on canvas measuring 43 × 51 cm. The subject comes from Genesis: Jacob leaves Laban's house with Rachel, her family and her property. Camelids, sheep, cattle, goats, dogs and mounts transform the escape into a long pastoral migration. Van der Meiren records the old episode in a lively and detailed landscape, inherited from Flemish tradition but open to exotic and Italianate accents. The small dimension concentrates the pleasure of the gaze: you have to explore the image like a world in miniature. The selection "Jan Baptist van der Meiren" notably compares Jacob’s Journey. His reading favors the story.
The caravan tells of exile, but the animals and the landscape give the journey its true scale.
