Maerten Ryckaert, ein hervorragender Landschaftsmaler, war der Sohn von David Ryckaert d. Ä. (um 1560 - um 1607). Sein Werk zeigt deutlich den Einfluss seines Lehrers Tobias Verhaecht (1561 - 1631), aber auch den von Paul Bril (1554 - 1626), den er eventuell als junger Mann gegen Ende der zweiten Dekade während seines Aufenthalts in Rom persönlich kennenlernte, und Jan Brueghel d. Ä. (1601 - 1678). All diese Einflüsse finden sich in der eindrucksvollen Darstellung einer majestätisch-üppigen Landschaft wieder, innerhalb derer auf engstem Raum die biblische Episode der Flucht nach Ägypten dargestellt wird. Die wuchernde Wildnis verschluckt beinahe die winzigen Figuren der Heiligen Familie, obwohl sich diese im Mittelpunkt des Bildes befindet. Das kleine Format des Gemäldes unterstreicht fast miniaturhaft die malerische Präzision des Künstlers und dessen blühende Fantasie in der Gestaltung der Natur; das Gemälde besitzt genau jene berückende visuelle Anziehungskraft wie auch viele andere eindeutig von Maerten Ryckaert stammende Werke.

FOREST LANDSCAPE WITH THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT

Oil on panel.
29.5 x 43 cm.

Maerten Ryckaert’s painting clearly shows the influence of his teacher, Tobias Verhaecht, but also of Paul Bril, whom he possibly met as a young artist during his stay in Rome towards the end of the 1610s, as well as that of Jan Brueghel the Elder. All of these influences can be discerned in this impressive depiction of the Bible story of the Flight into Egypt set in the smallest of spaces within a majestic, lush landscape. The sprawling wilderness almost swallows up the diminutive figures of the Holy Family, despite their placement at the centre of the composition. The painting’s small format emphasizes the artist’s (almost miniaturist) painterly precision and his lively imagination in depicting nature; it is this entrancing visual appeal that also features in many other works that are unquestionably by Maerten Ryckaert.
