- Abstract
In the collection European Paintings of the National Gallery of Slovenia there are two paintings, Noble Couple at the Market and Lady at the Market, companion pieces painted after the mid-17th century by an anonymous Flemish artist. They once belonged to a series of four market scenes in the collection of Counts Attems in Palais Attems in Graz, Austria, of which the other two are held in the Alte Galerie at the Universalmuseum Joanneum. The paper iconologically analyses the series of these four paintings in the context of 17th century Flemish market scenes. The comparison with paintings by 17th century Flemish painters, especially Frans Snyders, his circle and his followers, reveals a variety of aspects in terms of their content, including the fruit and fertility symbolism as well as the role of female consumers and traders in the early modern Netherlands.
