Description: | Fantasy scenes of this kind were Dirck van Delen's speciality. This elaborate scene is an exaggerated version of the garden and building styles popular in 17th century Netherlands. Black-and-white patterning on the foreground pillars and terrace emphasises the mathematical perspective of the scene. Square flower beds and a green arcade of clipped trees continue the architectural formality into the garden. The lively figures were probably painted by Anthonie Palamedes, who was one of several artists who collaborated with Van Delen. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists oil paintings fashion art buildings other cultures men women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
