Some flemish oil on copper paintings from the 17th Century in Talca (Chile)

Abstract

In this study we present four oil on copper paintings of Flemish descent, one by Willem van Herp (1614-1677), whom we also attribute the remaining ones. His works may date back to the second half of the 17th century and are inspired by Rubens and Teniers the Elder: Most of them belonged to Eusebio Lillo and nowadays they are kept at the O’Higgins’ and Fine Arts Museum in Talca (Chile).
