Pictura Nova VI, studies in 16th - and 17th - century flemisch painting and drawing. Part I: His life, his works. Part II: Catalogue. Part III: Appendices/ Chronology/ Transcripts of notarial deeds.This monograph presents a contextual study of the work of David III Ryckaert (1612-1661), who established a reputation as a painter of peasant scenes. According to twentieth-century critics, Ryckaert was no more than a minor imitator of other Flemish painters, particularly Adriaen Brouwer and David II Teniers. Underlying such relegation of Ryckaert is an uncritical and distinctly modernist glorification of originality, or merely novelty, which was alien to the culture of Flemish painting in which David III Ryckaert flourished.
