Antique 17th Century Paintings

About this collection

Seventeenth-century painting is the art of the Baroque age, when the schools of France, Flanders, Italy and the German lands turned to dramatic light, deep shadow and heightened emotion in religious, mythological and portrait subjects.

Our seventeenth-century paintings for sale span the French, Flemish, Italian and German schools, on canvas, wood panel and copper, from biblical and devotional subjects to allegories of the seasons, gallant scenes, portraits and animal painting, many in period frames. Attributions are given in the period's own terms, After, Circle of and Follower of. To place these works in their traditions, read our guides to Flemish Baroque and Italian Baroque.
