Description: | This work, a version of a painting by Jan Both in the Herron Museum of Art, Indianapolis, and probably by a seventeenth century contemporary, reflects the growing trend in the province of Holland in the seventeenth century, for a more Italianate landscape style. After the signing of the peace treaty of Münster in 1648, the Dutch could begin to relax in their newly secured Republic, and begin to look forward to an age of prosperity and pride in their nationhood. The paintings of the mid century reflect this change, and move from the very Dutch and particular landscapes of artists such as Jan van Goyen, to this broader, more classical outlook. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) Æ After Previously attributed to Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) Previously attributed to Heusch, Willem de (Dutch landscapist and etcher, 1625-1692) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8416... | Go to resource |
