JAN VAN DER VUCHT (1603 – 1637) of ANTHONIE DE LORME (c. 1610 – 1673) – TOEGESCHREVEN AAN / OMGEVING VAN olieverfschilderij op paneel met een geanimeerde architecturale compositie : “Gesprekken in en aan de galerijen” – 61 x 84 met op verso een paneelmerk ‘4MM’ Dit paneelmerk is van een maker uit Rotterdam, die er zeker tussen 1632 en 1648 (mogelijk tussen 1618 en 1652) werkte. Tot nu toe is zijn naam niet bekend. Zijn merk wordt wel teruggevonden op werken van belangrijke Hollandse meesters uit die periode. Zowel Jan Van der Vucht als Anthonie Delorme werkten in Rotterdam. De toeschrijving werd gemaakt tezamen met prof. Jean-Pierre De Bruyn.

17th Cent. oil on panel with an animated architectural composition with people conversing in the galleries, to be attributed or in the cercle of Jan van der Vucht or Anthonie De Lorme – with on the back a ‘4MM’ panel mark. With the combination of dendrochronology with art history and archival research, it has been concluded that this panel maker was active (at least) from 1632 to 1648 (possibly from 1618 till 1652) and had his workshop in Rotterdam. While the marking of panel paintings in the 16th and 17th centuries in the southern Netherlands is known to be a well-established practice, this practice does not seem to have been widespread in the Dutch Republic. It is possible that this maker and a few other northern panel makers marked their panels to help consumers recognize their quality, setting standards in this process that were comparable with what had been introduced in Antwerp a few decades earlier. The possibility of panel makers bringing this idea along as refugees from
the Southern Netherlands should also be considered (Janssen 2016/2017). Further research is needed to discern the number of panel makers that developed this marking system in the Northern Netherlands, its length of use, and if they were connected. The RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History is currently developing the Marks on Art database.
Both Jan van der Vucht and Anthonie De Lorme worked in Rotterdam.
The attribution was made together with prof. Jean-Pierre De Bruyn.
