## About Adriaen van Stalbemt

Adriaen van Stalbemt (1580–1662) was a Flemish Baroque painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. He is chiefly associated with carefully populated landscapes in which religious, mythological, or allegorical narratives unfold among natural and architectural settings. Surviving biographical summaries also identify him as an accomplished figure painter who sometimes supplied staffage—the human figures that animate a scene—for compositions by fellow artists. That collaborative activity is important when identifying a work because an attribution may concern the full composition, a contribution within it, or a later association with his manner. Collectors may encounter his name on landscape paintings, narrative pictures, prints, drawings, and collaborative works. Records can also appear under spelling variants such as Adriaan van Stalbemt, Adriaen van Stalbempt, or Adriaan van Stalbent. Authority identifiers from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, IdRef, and other collections help connect these variants to the same historical artist.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Van Stalbemt’s name most commonly fall within Flemish Baroque landscape and narrative painting. Subjects described in the collected sources include religious episodes, mythological stories, allegories, and groups of figures integrated into landscape settings. Prints and drawings may also appear. Some paintings may be collaborative objects in which Van Stalbemt is associated specifically with the figures rather than every part of the composition, so cataloguing language should be read closely. Searches should account for documented variants of his name as well as distinctions such as attributed to, studio of, circle of, follower of, or in the manner of.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a work associated with Van Stalbemt should begin with the exact attribution language and the object’s medium, subject, format, and relationship to any collaborating artist. His documented activity as a painter of figure staffage makes it especially important to distinguish a wholly attributed composition from a work in which only the figures are associated with him. Landscape subject matter and religious, mythological, or allegorical content can help identify relevant comparisons, but they do not establish authorship by themselves. Condition, dimensions, provenance, dating, and prior attribution history require object-specific examination. Public auction records are most useful when the comparable works share similar attribution strength, medium, subject, scale, and condition.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Object-specific attribution, condition, provenance, and authorship still require separate evaluation.
