Catalogue note
Attributed to Jon Franz van Bloeman (1662-1749) The painting depicts an extensive Italianate wood landscape with figures in the foreground and buildings beyond.The wood and gilded frame is of the same period and could be the original and has been sympathetically restored.
The painting itself has been relined but not restored.
In some examples of Van Bloemans work, he has signed the canvas "VB" but this one does not. However, that is reflected in the price.

Born in Antwerp, Jan Frans van Bloemen was a younger brother of Pieter van Bloemen.He likely trained with his brother. Between 1681 and 1684, he was in his native Antwerp a pupil of Anton Goubau, a painter of market scenes and bamboccianti (low-life) subjects situated in Roman or Mediterranean settings.
He travelled to Paris around 1682 and resided there for a few years. He then moved to Lyon where his brother Pieter van Bloemen was staying. He probably met the painter Adriaen van der Kabel around this time. Via Turin, Jan Frans and Pieter van Bloemen travelled on to Rome where in 1688 they were registered in the parish of Sant’Andrea delle Fratte.
Van Bloemen was successful in Rome and received commissions for the painting of large vedute from prominent patrons such as the Queen of Spain Elizabeth Farnese, the Roman nobility and the Pope.
Among his pupils were Franz Ignaz Oefele, Gabrielle Ricciardelli, and Nicoḷ Bonito. He died in Rome in 1749.
