Anthonis Schoonjans
Anthonis Schoonjans is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
Anthonis Schoonjans was a late 17th-century painter who left two paintings in our collection. One shows Cleopatra dissolving a pearl in vinegar, a dramatic moment from ancient Rome’s story. The other is his own face in a mirror, a quiet self-portrait.
Both use the strong lights and dark shadows of the Baroque era. See how the pearl gleams in the glass dish, or peek at Schoonjans’ steady gaze in the next room.
