Original Description
This lively pair of paintings by Flemish artist Carel van Falens (1683–1733), also known as Karel van Falens, captures the dynamic contrast between aristocratic leisure and rural labor in early 18th-century Flanders. Le Départ pour la Chasse depicts elegantly dressed noblemen preparing for a hunt, their spirited horses and lavish attire radiating privileged exuberance, while its companion piece Dispute entre des Cavaliers Élégants et des Paysans humorously juxtaposes them with market-bound peasants amid a comic confrontation. Van Falens, a pupil of Peter Ykens, specialized in hunt scenes and animated equestrian compositions, blending meticulous detail with the vibrant brushwork characteristic of Flemish Baroque. These works exemplify his skill in narrative tension and social commentary, offering a valuable glimpse into period class dynamics while showcasing the enduring popularity of genre scenes in Northern European art. Their paired composition and theatrical energy place them among noteworthy successors to the tradition of David Teniers the Younger.
For interior styling, this diptych’s grand scale (typical of van Falens’ works at ~100 cm width) demands a statement wall in a study or formal dining room. The paintings’ warm earth tones—ochre, russet, and forest green—pair beautifully with rich wood paneling or luxe fabrics like velvets in mustard or sage. Consider flanking them with Baroque-inspired sconces to enhance their dramatic lighting, or position them symmetrically above a mantel to echo their original "pair" presentation. In a contemporary office, they inject Old World gravitas when contrasted with sleek, minimalist furniture; their bustling scenes balance muted modern spaces without overwhelming. Opt for gilded or dark-stained frames to honor their period flair while keeping sightlines unobstructed, as the intricate details reward close viewing.
