Palamedes and Anthonie Palamedez
Unknown geniuses
I know that Palamedes Palamedesz (1606-1638) (1) is not a very usual name. But the thing is that this man was the genius as a painter. He was the brother of another well-known Dutch painter, and those men painted very high-class paintings. And the thing is that I sometimes wonder, why everybody knows about the name Vincent Van Gogh, but the name of Palamedez brothers is not so well-known. Palamedes died at the age of 32, and that means that he might be somehow handicapped.
There is a strange detail in this painting, which is painted by the English born Dutch artist, whose name is quite difficult to write, but the name you will find from the annex one, and the thing that makes that person so interesting is his strange name. Exactly the thing, what makes this artist very interesting is that he was a brother of another well-known Dutch painter Anthonie Palamedez(1601-1978) (2), and you might guess how difficult it is to separate those people from together.
They were both golden age dutch painters, and they are made fascinating paintings. And the question is, why the other of brothers have this kind of extraordinary name? The thing in this painting that portraits the cavalry fight is that there seems to be a strange character, what is painted like a cloud. That character seems like some kind of muscleman, who would rub the knucklebones together.
Strange "muscleman" in clouds
This painting is really interesting because it is so well done. But the artist Palamedes Palamedesz is a very interesting person, he has painted many paintings, and the thing, what makes those paintings interesting is that he has painted some cavalry fight scenes, and in those scenes is something very interesting. Behind the men is a cloud character, which seems a little bit extraordinary.
And sometimes I have thought that those paintings are meant to portrait something else, but then the artist has been covered that thing by using the cloud formation. And the question is, what was the thing, what suppose in the place of that character? Maybe there was something, that was politically incorrect, and the painter would remove things, that that person planned to make during the painting process. And the thing is that there are many secrets, what is hidden in paintings, and many mysteries are waiting for the finder. This kind of thing makes the work of the researcher interesting and fascinating.
