EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning series of twelve paintings on copper, titled "The Creation of the Fish and the Birds" by Jacob Bouttats (ca. 1660-ca. 1718), showcases the artist's masterful interpretation of the biblical creation story as described in the book of Genesis. Painted around 1700, these Flemish works of art were created during the Baroque era and are now part of the impressive collection at the Navarra Museum in Pamplona, Spain. Each painting captures a different moment in the creation process, from the morning's dawn to the evening's dusk. The first painting depicts God separating the waters and creating the sky, while the last painting shows the sun setting and the birds flying over the water. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scenes to life, transporting the viewer to a world of early modern history and Western art. The marine landscapes in these paintings are particularly noteworthy, with waves crashing against the shore and fish swimming gracefully in the water. The use of copper as the canvas adds an unique texture and sheen to the paintings, making them stand out among other works of the time. Bouttats' "The Creation of the Fish and the Birds" is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to his craft. These paintings offer a glimpse into the past, providing a connection to the history and culture of the 17th century Flemish people and their artistic traditions.
