Description: | Signed: yes Description: This work can be attributed to Klaes Molenaer (d. 1676), the nephew of the more famous Jan Miense Molenaer. Several members of the Molenaer family were painters, although they seem to have had individual specialities. Amongst other things, Jan Miense painted exterior scenes with crowds of peasants often in boisterous celebration. Klaes, on the other hand, emphasised the landscape setting of the rural Netherlands, evident in this work. Several paintings attributed to Klaes show such small group of travellers resting on a road that winds out from a small village, often with figures on horseback in the background. | Subjects: | everyday life; figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Molenaer, Klaes (Dutch painter, active before 1630-1676) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Molenaer, Jan Miense (Dutch painter and printmaker, ca. 1610-1668) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8317... | Go to resource |
