About the artwork

Scheldt and Antwerp, was made in 1609 by Brabant Baroque painter Abraham Janssens, commissioned by the Antwerp city magistrate. The city maiden Antverpia is handed a horn of plenty by the river god Scaldis. From this cornucopia, pieces of fruit and vegetables fall, taking the shape of a human face. The artist's visual joke reminds the viewer of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, with the ancient god leaning on an amphora. From it flows the water of the Scheldt, a clear reference to his personality. Abraham Janssens based his composition on Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. Like Janssens, the latter painted his characters solid and robust. The bright light that casts dark shadows is also reminiscent of Caravaggio. Abraham Janssen(s) van Nuyssen (Antwerp, c. 1573 - there, 1632) was a Brabant Baroque painter. Later works are more mythological and religious in nature. His main stylistic features are the sculptural design and dramatic lighting strongly reminiscent of Caravaggio. Also typical are the use of motifs from the High Renaissance and classical sculpture, which he had studied extensively in Italy.
