Description: | The figures in this painting are very reminiscent of the work of Jan van Bloemen. They often appear as travellers walking, resting, conversing, or gesturing to each other, as they do in this picture. The strong diagonal composition of the deep valley landscape is not however found elsewhere in van Bloemen's recognised work and may suggest it is by a later follower. At least three of his pupils continued this popular format after his death in 1749. The donor of this painting, Eleanor Rathbone, was part of the family instrumental in setting up the University. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bloemen, Jan Frans van (Flemish painter, 1662-1749, active in France and Italy) Æ Attributed to school of Attributed to Bloemen, Jan Frans van (Flemish painter, 1662-1749, active in France and Italy) Previously attributed to manner of Zuccarelli, Franco (Italian painter, 1702-1788) Previously attributed to after Zuccarelli, Franco (Italian painter, 1702-1788) Previously attributed to Italian School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8359... | Go to resource |
