Upcoming Exhibition
16 July–4 December 2022
The Fabrics of Representation draws from a variety of Agnes’s collections to highlight how European painting genres such as still life, portraiture and history painting employed elements of increasingly global material culture to new representational ends. In addition to realistically rendering a large variety of surfaces and textures, painters were advised to combine their skills in observation with their imagination to invent deceptively lifelike compositions. Representation, in this sense, takes on a double meaning—of artistic likeness as well as a complex process of signification. Works on display include recently acquired seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish paintings by Carstian Luyckx, Pieter Claesz, Constantijn Verhout and Jan van Noordt.
Curated by Suzanne van de Meerendonk and generously supported by the Bader Legacy Fund.
Carstian Luyckx, Still Life with Gilt Cup, Glass Holder, Silver Beaker, Nautilus Shell, Fruit and Oysters Arranged on a Draped Ledge, around 1650, oil on copper. Agnes Etherington Art Centre. Gift of Isabel Bader, 2021
