Description: | Signed: yes Description: Jan Both is considered to be father of the second generation of Dutch Italianate painters. He was a master in the depiction of the light effects of early morning and evening as can be seen in this rather melancholy painting of travellers. Both's Italianate landscapes were inspired by observation and sketches of the countryside around Rome made during his stay in Italy (around 1637-1641). These motifs were then distilled into a formula for creating idyllic Italianate landscapes. This painting captures the soft, golden light of the Roman Campagna rather than the cool light of northern Europe, though it was probably executed after Both had returned to Utrecht. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8386... | Go to resource |
