O tym dziele sztuki
Summer — Jakub Jordana
This painting represents in the best way Jordaens’s mature style, treating its subject in a manner that mingles realism and naturalism, its pictorial representation deploying broad strokes, with scant interest in the rendering of physical details. A thoroughly modern touch is evident in the way the painter projects the three adult characters in three different directions, following the nature of their reactions. The narrowed eyes of the character on the left side are a result of the pitiless glare of the sun, the blouse, pulled down to reveal the breasts and the heat-struck face of the character in the foreground are signs of the stifling summer heat, while the distress in the eyes of the central character reflects the charged atmosphere, preceding the storm. The women are caught in motion, their features, as well of those of the babe in arms, reveal ancestral strength and a great capacity for endurance, in spite of their congestion and the harrowing physical effort. Their elementary strength is mirrored by the forces of nature: the billowing cloud formations in the background and the rising wind, suggested by the way one of the women holds on to her straw hat. In his painting The Summer, Jordaens succeeds admirably in juxtaposing the full glare of a torrid summer day (radiating from left) and the menacing darkening of the sky preceding the storm (to the right). The characters are caught in the most dynamic moment, in a scene of nature perfectly illustrative of human reaction to its whims. ©Dana Roxana Hrib, European Art Gallery Guidebook, Second edition, Sibiu 2011.

Jacob Jordaens, a name synonymous with vibrant energy and the celebration of earthly pleasures, stands as one of the most significant figures in the history of Flemish Baroque painting. Born in Antwerp in 1593 into a prosperous family – his father a successful linen merchant – he inherited not only wealth but also an appreciation for beauty and artistic expression. Unlike many of his contemporaries who sought their fortunes in Italy, Jordaens remained firmly rooted in his native Flanders, forging a distinctive style that captured the essence of Flemish life with remarkable realism and joyous exuberance. His early training under Adam van Noort, including marriage to his master’s daughter, laid a solid foundation in technique and composition, yet he quickly distinguished himself through an unparalleled ability to infuse his paintings with a palpable sense of vitality and human warmth.
Jordaens' artistic output was remarkably diverse, encompassing a vast range of subjects – from grand religious narratives and mythological scenes to intimate portraits and lively genre paintings. However, it is perhaps his depictions of peasant festivals and tavern scenes that have cemented his place in art history. Works like The King Drinks (also known as the Feast of the Bean King) are iconic examples of this characteristic style: crowded compositions teeming with robust figures engaged in boisterous revelry, rendered in warm, glowing colors and dramatic chiaroscuro. These weren’t merely celebrations of merriment; they were often imbued with subtle moralizing undertones, reflecting the complex interplay between indulgence and restraint that defined 17th-century society. Yet, Jordaens was equally adept at handling more formal commissions, notably his significant role in decorating the Huis ten Bosch palace near The Hague – a project undertaken alongside the renowned Peter Paul Rubens. This collaboration showcased his ability to seamlessly integrate painting with architecture, creating monumental allegorical works that were both visually stunning and conceptually rich.
Despite never venturing to Italy, Jordaens was profoundly influenced by the artistic currents of his time. He studied the works of Italian masters like Jacopo Bassano, Paolo Veronese, and Caravaggio – artists whose techniques and sensibilities reached Flanders through engravings and paintings brought back by other painters. The influence of Caravaggio is particularly evident in Jordaens’s masterful use of light and shadow, a technique known as tenebrismo, which dramatically intensifies the emotional impact of his scenes. However, Jordaens didn't simply imitate these influences; he synthesized them with his own distinctly Flemish sensibilities, creating a style that was uniquely his own. He differed significantly from Rubens and Van Dyck in his preference for realism over idealized beauty, embracing a more direct and unrefined approach to depicting the human form. His figures are often substantial, even corpulent, their faces flushed with health and vitality – a testament to his commitment to portraying the authentic realities of everyday life. This distinctive combination of naturalism, technical skill, and emotional depth set him apart from his contemporaries and established him as a leading figure in Flemish Baroque painting.
Throughout his long and prolific career, Jordaens trained numerous pupils – fifteen were officially recorded by the Guild of St. Luke between 1621 and 1667— ensuring the continuation of his artistic legacy. His influence can be seen in the work of later artists like Jan Steen, who shared his penchant for depicting lively genre scenes. Beyond his direct impact on other painters, Jordaens’s classically inspired peasant themes had a lasting effect on the art world, challenging traditional hierarchies and celebrating the dignity of everyday life. Even today, his paintings continue to captivate audiences with their energy, vitality, and honest portrayal of human experience. His ability to seamlessly blend realism with allegory, sensuality with morality, and grandeur with intimacy makes him one of the most compelling and enduring figures of the Baroque period.
