In Dutch painting of the seventeenth century, examining a bottle of urine was used to represent doctors, often satirically, in assimilating to charlatans. The fanciful costume was a marker of distinction between good and evil doctor (Gerard Dou, "The Doctor", Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum). Sitting at his desk, the man examines a vial. Dressed in black and wearing a hat, it raises the bottle at eye level, to examine in daylight. In good scientist, he consulted the herbarium open on his desk and prepares to draw conclusions from its analysis on a leaflet blank to comment. It is learned qu'Adriaen Van Ostade represented his medical potential. The concentrated gaze, wisdom permeating his face, he is closer to the iconography of the lawyers in their study that the charlatan. The fineness of the painting and rendering textures, such as the oriental table mat, are characteristic of the evolution of painting from Van Ostade in the 1660s, towards greater artistic maturity. Each element of the composition is rendered with naturalism, giving the portrait of the scientist a psychological dimension.

On June 7, 1708, the table included in a sale in Amsterdam. He entered the collection of Johan Hendrik van Wassenaer Obdam graaf and remained probably until the death of this one in 1745. On 19 August 1750 Bisschop bought for 350 FL when selling the Hague, De Hondt. The analysis obtained for during "A Stove flaking fish" (location unknown) and it is with him that he was again sold, this time in Paris, July 19, 1774, in Collins, for 750 pounds. We do not know what date, the two pendant entered the collection of Abel Poisson Marquis de Menars. The posthumous sale of the latter allowed Claude Tolozan, introducer of ambassadors to the court of the king, to make the acquisition for 611 pounds. Then "The analysis" passed into the collection of Laneuville for 810 francs (sales & Paillet Delaroche, Paris, 23 February 1801) in the collection Séréville in that of Lafontaine for 1,500 francs (Paillet sale Laneuville & Olivier, Paris, January 22, 1812), Casimir Perier and Paul Perier.

The canvas makes a attractive, positive impression. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without the help of additional wall-mounts. Because of thata canvas print is suited for any type of wall.

Your favorite work of art is custom-made thanks to state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. This creates the impression of and rich colors. The major upside of a plexiglass print is that contrasts and also minor details become identifiable with the help of the very subtle gradation.

For the Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print your chosen artwork right on the aluminium composite surface. The bright and white sections of the artpiece shimmer with a silky gloss, however without any glare. Colors are bright and luminous, the fine details of the print appear crisp and clear, and the print has a a matte appearance that you can literally feel.
