Description: | This painting depicts a group of figures in a rural landscape. The cart draws the eye into the scene as it drives down the centrally placed lane. The group of trees on the left, balanced by the row of houses on the right, brings variety to the composition while framing the cart. Many of the motifs, including the cart and the houses, show an awareness of the work of Jan Brueghel the elder. Laanen's employment of these motifs also demonstrates the growing interest in depicting local scenes in Dutch and Flemish painting of the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | landscape; buildings and gardens; figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Laanen, Jasper van der (Dutch painter, born ca. 1592, active 1624) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8342... | Go to resource |
