Jacob Bogdani
Monkey, Parrot and Fruit
Sobre a pintura
Jacob Bogdani (often called James in English) (1658-1724) was an Hungarian painter, educated in the Felsomagyarországi Evangélikusok Kollégiuma, Eperjes and was probably trained by his father who was a painter himself. By 1688, he had moved to England where he became a successful painter and gained the English citizenship in 1700. He had many pupils among whom his own son, William (1699-1771), and his son-in-law, Tobias Stranover (1684-1756).
This painting bears some similarities with the work of Jacob Bogdani without following the painter's essential characteristics. It is also reminiscent of Flemish and Dutch still-life painters and was most likely executed in England during the early 18th century.
