About the painting

In the museum's own words — in Russian

Изображение в живописи цветочных и плодовых гирлянд, окружающих какой-либо евангельский сюжет или образ, восходит к обычаю украшения икон в католической церкви венками из живых цветов и плодов. Такие картины, получившие особое распространение в Испанских Нидерландах, всегда были плодом совместного творчества. Цветы или плоды в них писали мастера натюрморта, а сцены из Священного Писания – художники, специализировавшиеся в изображении фигур. В данном случае кисти Йорданса принадлежит центральный медальон, а цветочный венок исполнен антверпенским живописцем Андрисом Даниельсом. Цветы наделены определенным символическим смыслом, тесно связанным с культом Девы Марии.

Meanwhile, in the life of Jacques Jordaens

The whole life
  1. 1616

    Joins the “Guild of the Poor Box”

    Jordaens became a member of the Gilde van de Armenbus, a kind of insurance pool for artists with health problems.

  2. 15 May 1616

    Marries his master's daughter Catharina van Noort

    Jordaens married Adam van Noort's eldest daughter Catharina (other accounts call her Anna Catharina). At first the couple lived with or near his father-in-law; they had three children: Elisabeth, Jacob, who became a painter, and Anna Catharina.

  3. 1617

    Daughter born: Elisabeth Jordaens

  4. 1618

    Buys a home in the quarter where he grew up

    Jordaens and his wife bought a home in the neighbourhood where he grew up: by some accounts, two adjoining houses on the Hoogstraat behind the house of the merchant Backx; by others, a house at Reyndersstraat 4. His father-in-law later moved in with them; here the painter set up his studio and spent nearly all his life.
