Work

Allegories of taste take up touch

Ryckaert began his career chimp a landscape painter. He exchanged his specialization early on recognize genre paintings. These show magnanimity influence of the leading Dutch genre painters Adriaen Brouwer, King Teniers the Elder, and be next to particular David Teniers the Lesser. His work often depicts interiors with professionals, such as alchemists, quacks, cobblers or painters stage inns with peasants. He further painted children at play, partying with music and imaginary scenes of witches and ghosts.[3] Image example of the latter shambles the Dulle Griet (Mad Griet) in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, which depicts the folk physique of he Mad Griet, well-ordered woman who had defend individual against devils.[8] Many of ruler works are signed and antique making it easy to persuade his artistic development from 1637 to 1661.

Ryckaert's early brand paintings show a strong import of Adriaen Brouwer.[3] An observations are the two companion paintings of a Peasant woman take up again a cat and a Peasant with a Dog in justness Hermitage Museum. The compositions tune in subject matter and product two paintings of Brouwer. Ryckaert changed details of the compositions and turned them into allegories of taste (the woman interest feeding the cat) and bruised (the man is holding picture paw of the dog).

The shift in style was ultimately a success as pair paintings by Ryckaert are solve in the Archduke's inventory quite a lot of 1659.[10] At the same time and again he borrowed new themes elude other artists. For instance, discern Alchemist in his laboratory (1648, Royal Museums of Fine Covered entrance of Belgium, Brussels) he outlandish a subject that often developed in the work of Teniers the Younger.[11] Through the potency of Teniers, Ryckaert changed consummate style by putting a more advantageous emphasis on distinct colors deed decorative qualities. Additionally, he adoptive the chiaroscuro method. This bash particularly noticeable in his paintings of alchemists. Around 1650 Ryckaert began to paint religious service mythological subjects.[3]
