Antwerp, 1595 -1672 · Flemish landscape, drawing and heritage of Rubens
Lucas van Uden was born in Antwerp in 1595 into a family linked to painting, tapestry and silk. Probably trained by his father Artus, a city painter, he became a freemaster of the guild of Saint-Luc in 1627. He established himself as a landscape painter, designer and engraver. His name often remains associated with Rubens, of whom he copied and engraved several landscape compositions. The exact nature of their direct collaborations is sometimes discussed, but the Rubenian influence on his sense of movement, sky and light is evident. Van Uden also works with figure painters such as David Teniers the Younger, following Antwerp practice which distributes landscape and staffage between specialists. In small formats, he cultivates great finesse of detail; in larger compositions, he favors decorative motifs and clear construction. The Landscape of this collection highlights this search for balance. The masses of trees and terrain frame an opening towards the distance, while variations in the sky unify the planes. Man, when he appears, remains secondary: the main interest lies in the circulation of the gaze and in the sensation of air.
