Painting Description
"Bettlerfamilie" (Beggar Family) and "Bettler auf Krücken" (Beggar on Crutches) are two notable works by the Danish Baroque painter Bernhard Keil, also known as Bernardo Keilhau. Born in 1624, Keil was a pupil of Rembrandt in Amsterdam before moving to Italy, where he was influenced by the Bamboccianti, a group of artists known for their genre scenes of everyday life.
"Bettlerfamilie" depicts a family of beggars in a candid and humane manner, a subject that reflects Keil's interest in the lives of the common people, a theme prevalent in the Bamboccianti movement. The painting is characterized by its naturalistic portrayal of the figures and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique Keil would have honed under Rembrandt's tutelage, which adds depth and volume to the composition.
"Bettler auf Krücken," on the other hand, focuses on a single figure, a beggar on crutches. This work continues the theme of social realism and empathy towards the lower classes. Keil's attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures of the beggar's tattered clothing and the worn wooden crutches demonstrate his technical skill and observational prowess.
Both works serve as important examples of Keil's contribution to genre painting and offer insight into the social conditions of the 17th century. They showcase the artist's mastery in blending Dutch and Italian artistic influences, creating a distinctive style that captures the essence of his subjects with both compassion and realism.
These paintings are significant in the oeuvre of Bernhard Keil as they exemplify his artistic legacy and his dedication to portraying the everyday struggles of the less fortunate, a subject that was not commonly addressed with such sincerity during his time. The exact dates of creation for "Bettlerfamilie" and "Bettler auf Krücken" are not specified, but they are believed to be from Keil's mature period, after his time in Rembrandt's workshop and during his stay in Italy.
