Philips Wouwerman: liv og værk

Philips Wouwerman: Et liv i den hollandske guldalder

  • Født: Haarlem, Holland (1619)
  • Død: 1668

Philips Wouwerman (døbt 24. maj 1619 – død 19. maj 1668) var en yderst produktiv og alsidig hollandsk maler, berømt for sine skildringer af jagtscener, landskaber og slagmarker. Han står som en betydningsfuld skikkelse i det kunstneriske landskab under den hollandske guldalder.

Tidligt liv og uddannelse

Philips Wouwerman blev født i Haarlem, Holland, som søn af Pouwels Joostsz Wouwerman, der også var maler, omend mindre kendt end sin søn. Detaljerne omkring hans tidlige kunstneriske uddannelse er noget sparsomme, men det antages, at han studerede under Frans Hals (1581/85–1666), en fremtrædende portrætmaler fra Haarlem. Selvom Hals’ karakteristiske stil ikke havde en dominerende indflydelse på Wouwermans modne værk, var den grundlæggende træning sandsynligvis uvurderlig. Tidligt i sin karriere blev Wouwerman påvirket af bamboccianti-traditionen, især værkerne af Pieter van Laer (1592/99–efter 1642), hvor han adopterede deres fokus på hverdagslivet og genremaleriet.

Kunstnerisk udvikling og stil

I begyndelsen efterlignede Wouwerman bamboccianti-malerne, og hans tidlige værker indeholdt skildringer af dagliglivet. I midten af 1640'erne begyndte en karakteristisk kompositionel stil at vokse frem – et diagonalt skråplan i landskabet, ofte ledsaget af et træ, der fungerede som et repoussoir (et greb brugt til at skabe dybde). Disse scener blev befolket af figurer, der ofte var ledsaget af heste. I sin modne periode, omkring 1650-1660, udviklede Wouwerman sin helt egen individuelle stil og udvidede sit motivvalg betydeligt; han malede genremotiver, landskaber med rejsende, kavalerislag, militærlejre og festlige sammenkomster blandt bønder.

Wouwerman er især berømt for sin ekstraordinære dygtighed i at skildre heste af forskellige racer i dynamisk bevægelse. Kunsthistorikeren Frederik J. Duparc har berømt kaldt ham "uden tvivl den mest fuldendte og succesfulde hollandske hestemalere i det 17. århundrede". Hans malerier er kendetegnet ved dæmpede farver, en kølig atmosfære og en minutiøs opmærksomhed på detaljen, hvilket skaber vittige og anekdotiske fortællinger i hans scener. Han kombinerede ofte forestillede sydlandske landskaber med en udpræget hollandsk stemning.

Store bedrifter og eftermæle

Wouwermans værker var meget eftertragtede i hans egen levetid og fortsatte med at vinde popularitet i det 18. århundrede. Hans malerier fandt vej til prominente samlinger over hele Europa, herunder de kongelige huse i Dresden og Skt. Petersborg, hvilket vidner om den udbredte beundring for hans kunstnerskab.

Wouwerman var bemærkelsesværdig produktiv; tidlige kataloger listede omkring 800 værker tilskrevet ham, hvilket senere oversteg 1200. Et nyere katalog raisonné (Schumacher, 2006) identificerer cirka 570 autentiske værker, hvilket anerkender de mange efterfølgere og imitatorer, der producerede værker i hans stil. Hans brødre, Jan (1629–1666) og Pieter (1623–1682), var også malere, og deres værker blev ofte oprindeligt tilskrevet Philips. Mens Pieters arbejde tydeligt afspejlede Philips' indflydelse, udviklede han sin egen særprægede stil, mens Jan blev anerkendt som en mere autonom landskabsmaler. Wouwermans stil påvirkede desuden adskillige kunstnere, herunder Jan van Huchtenburgh (1647–1733), brødrene Jan Frans og Joseph van Bredael (1688–1739) samt Carel van Falens (1683–1733).

Udover sine kunstneriske bestræbelser var han medlem af Haarlem-gildet Sankt Lukas, hvor han bestred flere officielle poster. Han fungerede også som ejendomsmægler i Haarlem, hvilket afspejler hans engagement i det civile liv.

Historisk betydning

Philips Wouwermans bidrag til den hollandske guldalder ligger i hans evne til at indfange et bredt spektrum af scener – fra travle markedspladser og jagtekspeditioner til dramatiske slagmarker og fredfyldte landskaber – med enestående detaljerigdom og dynamik. Hans mesterskab i fremstillingen af heste, kombineret med hans skarpe øje for den anekdotiske fortælling, cementerede hans plads som en af sin tids mest fejrede og indflydelsesrige malere. En retrospektiv udstilling i Kassel og Haag (2009/2010) fremhævede yderligere hans vedvarende eftermæle.
