Description: | This painting is attributed to a follower of the Dutch seventeenth-century painter, Jan Both. Such muleteers in an Italianate landscape were depicted by Both several times. Although born in Utrecht, Both, like many Northern artists, went to Rome where he collaborated with other artists, including Claude Lorraine. The low-life figures in this work are characteristic of a type of painting practised by the group of artists nicknamed the Bamboccianti'. Returning to his native country, Both continued to paint views of the Italian landscape based on his travel sketches. Several followers imitated his style. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; trade and industry (muleteer); animal (mules) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) Æ Manner of Attributed to after Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) Previously attributed to Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8318... | Go to resource |
