Rubens on 16" Delft Wall Plate Porceleyne Fles

(Click to Enlarge)

It is my pleasure to offer you this magnificent handpainted Rembrandt on a huge Delft wall plate produced by The Royal Porceleyne Fles in Delft, The Netherlands.

De Porceleyne Fles was founded in 1653 however it got famous when Joost Thooft took over this small factory at Delft in 1876. He produced traditional blue on white Delft ware and tile tableaus but with a new technique.

The painters of Royal Delft are trained in the factory starting off with simple designs in blue/white on the smaller pieces. A painter first has to learn how to paint the little flowers and leaves that so characteristically adorn Delftware vases and the borders of Delftware plates. The painters then gradually progress to larger pieces with more complicated designs. Only the master painters, who have trained at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague paint the elaborate landscape and Dutch masters pieces.

As early as 1878 and 1879 contemporary Dutch artists entered into agreement with the Porceleyne Fles to allow their paintings to be copied. Landscapes were introduced to production, soon followed by genre paintings. Josef Israëls, Johannes Bosboom, Frederik Jacob van Rossum du Chattel, Anton Mauve, Otto Eerelmann, and Hendrik Willem Mesdag (all members of the artist's society "Pulchry Studio" in The Hague) played an important role. Contacts were easy because Adolf Lecomte, the artistic leader of The Porceleyne Fles was the brother in law of Anton Mauve.

This success caused that also paintings by worldfamous medieval masters were copied like this painting, a portrait by Rubens.

The front of this plate is marked with "naar Rubens". Further fully marked on the backside with the the Royal Delft Logo, The stylized JT of Joost Thooft and the (master) painters initials V.D.L. (= H. van der Linden who worked at De Porceleyne Fles from 1955-2004).
It wasn´t unusual that two painters worked on the same plate, a senior one to paint the most important parts and his pupil to finish it and to create the borders. In this case two very experienced painters collaborated in creating this masterpiece.
