Description: | This is a carefully constructed pastoral landscape, with trees acting as repoussoirs and a river that curves round a rock, to recede into the middle distance. Picturesque motifs enliven the scene: cattle rest on the riverbank, two figures are drawing in a boat, a classical structure stands on the far side of the river. A screen of trees occupies the middle distance, while high mountains rise on the far horizon. The craggy rock formations and the bare and windswept trees with broken branches add a disturbing note to the landscape, which is typical of Salvator Rosa. | Subjects: | landscape; animal | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Heusch, Jacob de (Dutch painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, 1657-1701) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to school of Rosa, Salvator (Italian painter and engraver, 1615-1673) Previously attributed to Rosa, Salvator (Italian painter and engraver, 1615-1673) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8473... | Go to resource |
