EDITORS COMMENTS
Jordaens' masterpiece, "Industry and Trade Promote the Flowering of Art," painted between 1663 and 1665, is a testament to the interconnectedness of art, industry, and commerce during the Baroque period in Flanders. Housed in the esteemed Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, this oil on canvas painting is a visual feast of allegory and literature. At the center of the composition, Industry and Trade are depicted as two figures, each holding a staff adorned with their respective symbols. Industry, represented by a woman, is shown with a spindle and a loom, symbolizing the textile industry. Trade, represented by a man, holds a cornucopia overflowing with various goods, symbolizing the prosperity brought by commercial exchange. Surrounding these central figures are various scenes of artistic creation and the fruits of industry and trade. A painter is depicted in the act of creating a portrait, while a sculptor chisels away at a marble figure. In the background, a bustling marketplace comes to life, with merchants engaging in transactions and artisans displaying their wares. Mythological figures, such as Apollo and Mercury, are also present, symbolizing the divine inspiration and patronage of the arts. The painting's rich colors and intricate details showcase Jordaens' exceptional skill as a painter, making it a must-see masterpiece in the annals of Baroque art.
