Description: | Though this work is not believed to be of sufficient quality to be by Wijnants himself, or even by a close follower of his, such as Wouwermans or van der Velde, in style and subject matter it has clearly been strongly influenced by him. Little certain evidence remains about Wijnant's life, though he is documented as being in Haarlem until his departure for Amsterdam in about 1660. In 1653 it seems that he was in Rotterdam, though perhaps the most significant influence on Wijnants (according to the Grove Dictionary of Art) was Dirck Wijntrack, particularly well known in his own lifetime for his paintings of wildfowl. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wijnants, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1635-1684) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8409... | Go to resource |
