De Jonckheere

In the last decade, collectors have been swept up in the excitement for twentieth-century currents. And it was in commemoration of the "old masters" that the world's most famous collections (such as the Rothschild Barons' collection) debuted 150, 100, and 50 years ago. No one could deny that these paintings were priceless at the time. Few people nowadays are capable of making jewels visible, and no one compares to the Paris De Jonckheere in this field. Consider how little still lifes by the small Dutch, bouquets by the Flemish, and landscapes by Bruegel Jr. inhabited by tiny figures glow in the dark. And, despite the fact that the entire trick is based on lighting, you'll never forget it.

The gallery was created by Georges and François de Juncker in Brussels in 1976, and the main branch moved to Faubourg Saint Honoré in Paris in 1978. "Peter Bruegel Jr. and landscape paintings by his contemporaries" was the title of the Parisian gallery's first exhibition. Since then, Peter Bruegel has established himself as a key figure in the gallery's history. Jonkers also brought to Moscow an exhibition on the same theme (2005, GIM). Gallery owners adopted Venetian veduta after eating a dog on Bruegel and the Flemish of the seventeenth century. Their display at the last Salon of Fine Arts in Moscow (Manege, May 2007) featured two miniature views of Venice by Francesco Guardi himself.
