This set of the Four Elements - Earth, Air, Fire and Water - derives from series of paintings by Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568–1625), the best of which are the signed panels in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Lyon, dated 1606–11,1 and the set datable to circa 1611 in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Rome.2 Brueghel executed both those series with his erstwhile collaborator, Hendrick van Balen (1575–1632), who painted the figures. The artists worked together on several paintings depicting this theme, the earliest of which is the painting in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, dated 1604, in which all four Elements are combined in one composition.3
All four designs here reflect Jan Brueghel's love and facility for the execution of every minutiae - the compositions are filled with fascinating and charming details, from the flying fish in the Allegory of Water and the variety of exotic birds in the Allegory of Air, to the guinea pigs in the Allegory of the Earth, and the still-life of arms and armour in the Allegory of Fire.
