Description

Hieronymus Janssens Merry Company Oil on copper (parquetted).. 46 x 36.5 cm. Signed lower left: H. Jan[...] fec... Certificate Max J. Friedländer, 02.04.1932. Provenance In a private collection, Rhineland, for three generations. Like many interior and genre scenes, this work is intended to convey a moral message to its viewers. The depiction of negative behaviours is meant to deter the viewer from repeating them and encourage them to act better, whereas depictions of positive behaviours are meant to inspire the viewer to imitation. The works are not only meant to serve a didactic purpose, but also provide amusement. The central figure in this work, a harlot in a low-cut dress, sits with open legs in the lap of a well-dressed gentleman whilst on the left another man whispers into her ear and hands her a bag of money. The scene is full of men and women in sumptuous attire, shown eating a splendid meal whilst pouring each other copious amounts of good wine and enjoying the music being played for them. We can see a further scene through the archway in the background, which the work's author uses to insert further symbolism into his genre painting. A woman pours out a glass of water from her balcony - a Biblical reference alluding to weakness and destruction. The scene below her appears to show two women with sticks defending themselves from a male attacker. Hieronymus Janssens Feiernde Gesellschaft Öl auf Kupfer (parkettiert). 46 x 36,5 cm. Signiert unten links: H. Jan[...] fec.. Gutachten Max J. Friedländer, 2.4.1932. Provenienz Seit drei Generationen in rheinischer Privatsammlung. Wie viele Interieur- und Genredarstellungen sendet auch dieses Werk eine moralische Botschaft an seine Betrachter. Die Darstellung negativer Verhaltensweisen sollte dabei abschrecken und zu besserem Verhalten animieren. Positive Beispiele sollten dem Betrachter einen Anreiz zur Nachahmung geben. Selbstverständlich spielt hier nicht nur der didaktische, sondern auch der unterhaltende Wert eine wichtige Rolle. So sitzt die zentrale Figur des Werkes, eine Dirne, breitbeinig und mit tiefem Dekolleté auf dem Schoß eines gut gekleideten Herrn, während ihr ein anderer Mann ins linke Ohr flüstert und ein Säckchen mit Geld reicht. Die Szenerie ist erfüllt von Männern und Frauen in prächtiger Kleidung, welche ein üppiges Mahl zu sich nehmen, sich vom guten Wein reichlich einschenken lassen und der Musik lauschen. Durch einen Torbogen hindurch lässt sich eine Nebenhandlung erkennen, welche der Maler als weitere Symbolik seines Sittenbildes nutzt. Auf dem Balkon steht eine Frau, die einen Becher Wasser ausschüttet, ein biblischer Verweis auf die Schwäche und den Untergang. Unter dem Balkon wehren sich wohl zwei Frauen mit Stöcken gegen den Angriff eines Mannes.
