Biography
Biographical data about van Es’ life are scarce. Van Es was probably born in Antwerp as can be concluded from the text on a portrait engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar.[1] In 1617 he became a master of the Antwerp St. Lucas Guild.[2] His pupils included Jacob Gillis in 1621 and Jan van Tienen in 1623.
He appears to have been successful as is testified by the numerous works collected by Antwerp collectors in the 17th century and the fact hat Peter Paul Rubens owned two of his works.[1] The proof of his immediate success is undoubtedly the portrait Jan Meyssens made of him and that was engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar to be included in the collection of artist portraits entitled Images de Divers Hommes Despirit Sublime qui par leur art et science debvrovent vivre eternellement et des quels la louange et renomée facit estonner le monde, published in Antwerp in 1649, with the following text:
- IACOBVS VAN ES/ Peinctre Excellent en fruicts poissons oiseauz et fleurs les/ quelles il faict extremement bien au naturel il demeure a Anvers/ y estant ne.[3]
(Translation: Jacobus van Es, painter who excels in fruit, fish, birds and flowers which he renders very well naturally he lives in Antwerp where he was born)
He was friends with leading Antwerp artists such as Jacob Jordaens, Cornelis Schut en Deodat del Monte who were godfathers to his children.[1]
He was buried in Antwerp on 11 March 1666.[2]
Works
He painted mainly still lifes and in particular still lifes of fruit and fish. His archaizing style follows the small 'breakfast still lifes' of of the Flemish masters Osias Beert and Clara Peeters. His still lifes typically depict of a random accumulation of unrelated objects on a sharply inclined table with the only concern being the realisation of rich colour.[4] His works achieve a sense of three-dimensionality through dramatic lighting and a wide range of colours. He also produced some flower pieces.[1] He was very productive and he painted occasionally flower garlands (Museum of Fine Arts in Orleans, in collaboration with Hendrick van Kaart).[5].
