FLEMISH SCHOOL 16th CENTURY, WORKSHOP OF PIETER COECKE VAN AELST, THE VEILED VIRGIN, OIL ON PANEL

Judging by the number of known versions of the Veiled Virgin, this iconographic motif was very popular in mid-sixteenth-century Flanders. According to Georges Marlier, the lost original was by Jan Gossaert (c. 1478-1532), known as Mabuse, an important proponent of the Antwerp Mannerist school (G. Marlier, La Renaissance flamande. Pierre Coeck d'Alost, Brussels, 1966, p.245). The Mauritshuis in The Hague holds a Virgin and Child by Mabuse dated to around 1520, in which the Child is found twisted, playing with his Mother's veil (inv. no. 830). The Veiled Virgin is sometimes included in multi-figure compositions such as the painting sold at Christie's in New York on 15 April 2008, lot 6.

Lot Essay

A en juger le nombre de versions connues de la Vierge au voile, ce motif iconographique a connu une importante popularité dans la Flandre du milieu du XVIe siècle.

Selon Georges Marlier, l’original perdu serait certainement de Jan Gossaert (vers 1478-1532) dit Mabuse de l’école maniériste anversoise (G. Marlier, La Renaissance flamande. Pierre Coeck d’Alost, Bruxelles, 1966, p. 245). La Mauritshuis de La Haye conserve une Vierge à l’Enfant de Mabuse datée vers 1520 où l’on retrouve l’Enfant entortillé, jouant avec le voile de sa Mère (no. inv. 830).

La Vierge au voile prend parfois place dans des compositions à plusieurs figures tel que le tableau vendu chez Christie’s à New York le 15 avril 2008, lot 6.
