Adriaen Hendriksz Verboom , also Hendricksz , (* approx. 1627 in Rotterdam ; † April 1673 there) was a Dutch painter and etcher of the Baroque who mainly devoted himself to landscape painting in the Golden Age .

Life

Adriaen Hendriksz Verboom was born in Rotterdam. His younger brother Willem Hendriksz Verboom (1640-1718) was his pupil and also became a landscape painter. In 1649 Adriaen Hendriksz Verboom married Meynarda Jans from Enkhuizen in Rotterdam . He worked in Haarlem from 1650 and in Amsterdam for a longer period from 1661 . In 1664 his wife published her contribution to the Querelle des femmes , the 296-line poem Plea for our Mother Eve , a review of Joost van den Vondel's tragedy Adam in Exile from the same year. In 1666, Verboom appears in Jan Sysmus's register of painters as an Amsterdam citizen , in contrast to his brother who remained in Rotterdam. His wife fell ill and wrote her will on July 26, 1667. On July 29, 1667, her body was buried in the Oudezijds Kapel in Amsterdam, which cost fifteen guilders .

When the will was drawn up, the couple lived in the Jodenbuurt , in a room in the Breestraat (today Jodenbreestraat ) via the Sephardic-Jewish businessman Daniel Pinto (1610–1681), on the corner of Sint Antoniesluis ( Sankt Antoniusschleuse ), who until 1658 was the neighbor of Rembrandt van Rijn . Rembrandt owned the neighboring building until his bankruptcy, which opened in 1911 as Museum Het Rembrandthuis ( Museum Das Rembrandt House ). Previous owners of Daniel Pinto's house were among others the painter Cornelis van der Voort (1576-1624), the art dealer Hendrick van Uylenburgh and the painter Nicolaes Eliaszoon Pickenoy , from whom Pinto bought the house for 9,000 guilders. In the Golden Age, the area was considered an artists' quarter, where many painters, art dealers and jewelers lived.

Verboom eventually returned to Rotterdam, where he died and was buried on April 26, 1673.

His landscape painting seems to be influenced by Jacob van Ruisdael , the figure staffages in the landscapes were respectively attributed to Johann Lingelbach , Adriaen van de Velde , Philips Wouwerman , Jacob de Witt or Gerrit Adriaensz Berckheyde over time . At the time, it was not unusual for a painter to have other painters paint the accessories. Many Flemish and Dutch painters worked together on pictures.

Adriaen Hendriksz Verboom was represented with works in the Hamburg collections of Nicolaus Hudtwalcker and Emma Budge . His paintings and etchings are in the Hamburger Kunsthalle , in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden , in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main, in the Graphic Collections Weimar , in the Staatliches Museum Schwerin , in the Museum Rotterdam , in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam , in the Amsterdam Museum , in Teylers Museum in Haarlem, in the Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden, in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, in the Swedish National Museum in Stockholm, in the Slovak National Gallery , in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow , Watford Museum , Courtauld Gallery in London, Nostell Priory in Wakefield, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, Art Gallery of South Australia , Harvard Art Museum in Cambridge , Massachusetts, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Philadelphia Museum of Art , Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco .

Akerboom

In Arnold Houbrakens Lexikon De groote schouburgh of the Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen (1718-1719) the name Akerboom appeared for the first time . In the German translation of Alfred von Wurzbach Arnold Houbraken's great Schouburgh of the Dutch painters from 1880, Volume I, Wurzbach assumed a printing error that transformed the name A. Verboom into Akerboom and thus created a new painter. In the translation on page 318 he left the name Akerboom , while in the table of contents on page 465 he entered Verboom (Akerboom), Abraham, painter, 318 . In his Dutch Artist Lexicon: with more than 3000 monograms , Volume 2, from 1910, Wurzbach pointed out again, but this time distanced himself from the first name Abraham , which appeared in older lexicons. The name Akerboom was taken from various older encyclopedias, such as the General Artists' Lexicon (1779) by Johann Rudolf Füssli and Hans Heinrich Füssli . In 1910 it was suggested that there might have been the painter Akerboom . The reason given for this assumption was that Verboom has no connection with the town of Doornik (in Wurzbach's translation Tournay ), which Houbrakens Akerboom is said to have depicted in a painting.

Restituted and missing works

  • For the Führer Museum in Linz planned by Adolf Hitler , a work by Adriaen Hendriksz Verboom was procured from the special order Linz . The painting, painted with oil on canvas around 1653 , was entitled Landscape with Tower and Waterfall, in the foreground a painter and measured 64.5 × 72 cm. The work was handed over to Linz by Erhard Göpel in 1944. He had bought it at an auction from the art dealer Frederik Muller & Co in Amsterdam. After the US Army invaded southern Germany during World War II , the painting was confiscated and handed over to the Munich Central Collecting Point on October 11, 1945. It was there until April 29, 1946, when it was handed over to the Netherlands.
  • In 2004, Verboom 's auction of the oil painting Elegant Society at Skittles (68 × 55.7 cm) at Sotheby’s in London had to be canceled because it turned out that the work was reported missing and was part of the art collection of Emma Budge from Hamburg , which contrary to her last will was auctioned at Paul Graupe in Berlin in 1937. The painting was then entitled The Skittles Game and was attributed to Job Adriaensz Berckheyde . In 1982 the painting, this time attributed to his brother Gerrit Adriaensz Berckheyde , was auctioned at Sotheby’s in London. Two auctions at Sotheby’s followed, in New York in 1988 and in London in 1990. Before the 2004 auction, the painting was attributed to Adriaen Hendriksz Verboom by two art historians from the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie , while the figures in it were attributed to Gerrit Adriaensz Berckheyde. An agreement was reached with the seller of the painting in 2004, so that the Henry and Emma Budge Foundation bought it that same year at half the estimated market value . In 2013 the painting, this time with the title Four Men Playing Bowls in the Garden, was auctioned again with spectators at Sotheby’s in London. A slightly larger copy of the work (74.4 × 59.1 cm) was auctioned at Christie's in New York in 2007. The painting was also attributed to Verboom and Gerrit Adriaensz Berckheyde, who painted the figures.
