Joos de Momper

Japanese: デ･モンペル（英語表記）Joos de Momper

1564‐1635
A Flemish landscape painter. Both his grandfather and father were painters. After becoming a free master in his hometown Antwerp in 1581, he probably traveled to Italy. However, for the majority of his life, he continued to paint in his hometown using traditional techniques, painting the flat grasslands and estuary landscapes of Flanders against the backdrop of the fantastical and majestic Alps. In his early years, he was influenced by Bruegel and Elsheimer, but gradually he moved towards the more naturalistic landscape expression of 17th century Holland. In 1980, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna determined that Storm at Sea, which had long been attributed to Bruegel, was a work by de Mompelle, and since then, his relationship with Bruegel has been particularly highlighted in recent years.

1564‐1635
フランドルの風景画家。祖父，父も画家。1581年生地アントウェルペンで自由親方になった後，おそらくイタリアに旅行。しかし生涯の大半は，生地で伝統的な手法により，幻想的で雄大なアルプスを背景としたフランドルの平坦な草原や河口風景を描く。初期はブリューゲルやエルスハイマーの影響をうけたが，しだいに17世紀オランダのより自然主義的な風景表現に向かう。1980年，ウィーン美術史美術館で長年ブリューゲルに帰属されていた《海上の暴風雨》がデ･モンペルの作品と断定されて以来，近年ブリューゲルとの関係がとくに脚光を浴びている。
