Description: | This fine market scene may be a view of Amsterdam. It is thought to be by the Dutch artist Cornelis Beelt. The bright blue and yellow dress of the wealthy woman on the left draws the viewer's attention to this area. Behind her is the open-sided market where fish are being traded. A brown-sailed fishing boat is beside the quay, and many baskets of fish are laid out on the ground. The fine buildings, the large ships on the canal, and the busy market express pride in the prosperity of Dutch society and the success of its sea trade. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East artists oil paintings fashion animals art buildings other cultures men natural world women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
