Master of the blue jeans

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A genre painter who worked in the north of Italy from around 1675 to 1700 is referred to in art historical research as the master of blue jeans ( it. Maestro della tela jeans) . Maybe he came from the region around Venice . The artist, who is not known by name, got his emergency name after the typical indigo blue fabric that appears on all but one of his pictures and can be seen in the clothing of his figures. It is very reminiscent of modern blue jeans . The pictures of the master of blue jeans show members of the poorer strata of the people and he paints this topic, which was unusual for his time, with detailed details.

The master of blue jeans was a contemporary of the Flemish painter and etcher Michiel Sweerts , who worked in Rome , a painter who also painted in the style of the Bambocciade , that is, he also chose his motifs from the everyday life of the poorer classes.

The catalog of works of the master of blue jeans has been examined in more detail since 2004.
