Description: | Jacopo dal Ponte, called Bassano after his native town, painted mostly religious scenes. He was a prolific artist, who specialised in independent paintings for private collectors in Venice and Veneto. To meet the high demand from collectors from c.1575, Jacopo Bassano had many copies of his works made by apprentices and by his sons, who copied them well into the seventeenth century. The subject of Moses striking the rock was an often-repeated subject for the Bassano workshop, with several differing compositions as well as almost identical copies of this painting. The only slight detail changes being cloud formations or the inclusion or exclusion of smaller animals such as the rabbit and hen in the foreground. | Subjects: | religion (Moses Striking the Rock) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bassano family (Italian painters, active 16th-17th centuries) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Bassano, Jacopo, il vecchio (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1510-1592) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8368... | Go to resource |
