#BaroquePride

Through the painting of Gérard de Lairesse (1641-1711): Samuel blesses young David from the Epiarte collection, the Instituto Moll joins to the initiative of choice December 7 as the Baroque day. 
The choice of this work within this Baroque style is in order to show that not everything in this movement is dynamism, big emotion and exuberance. At the same time that Jordaens was working on the Huis ten Bosch program in The Hague, other painters such as Gérard de Lairesse, was looking back the classic models, from Poussin, where the drawing was going to be decisive for the composition and references to classical architecture a constant.
Gérard is a Flemish-trained painter who moved to the Netherlands around 1664, where he would remain until the end of his life. This canvas shows the influence of Rembrandt and his school in the treatment of light, and in the recreation of Old Testament themes, so common in the Dutch school of the mid-seventeenth century. This influence allows to date the work between 1664 and 1690.
