Description
Guillam Forchondt(1608 – 1678). Oil on copper. 70.7×80.4 cm
Signed, with earlier restorations .Willem Forchondt, or Guillam Forchondt the Elder . was Flemish painter, cabinet maker and art dealer.
His international art dealership played an important role in the spread of Flemish Baroque art in Europe and South-America. He changed the relationship between art dealer and artist by becoming himself involved in the organisation of the art production process.
He was born in Antwerp as the son of the ebony worker and art dealer Melchior Forchondt the Elder, originally from Breslau, and the brother of Melchior the Younger. Melchior the Elder made his name dealing in ebony cabinets that were decorated with oil paintings, that he commissioned from members of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke.
Young Guillam grew up in this artistic milieu and became a member of the guild in 1632 as “winemaster”, which meant his father was still a member at the time. Like his father he was also skilled as a maker of cabinets. When his father died in 1633 Guillam took over the business. He married Maria Lemmens on 3 August 1636. The couple had 8 children. He died in Antwerp.
