Description: | This landscape, previously attributed to the Italianate artists Jacob de Heusch, and Jan Asselyn, has been re-attributed to Antwerp painter Pieter van Bloemen, who travelled to Rome in 1688. The subject matter and treatment of light reveal the artist's exposure to the Roman campagna. A large Roman building serves as a backdrop for the animals and figures: goats and cows occupy the foreground; three figures gather below a tree to the right. A urinating goat with its back turned to the viewer in the centre adds a crude note to the pastoral landscape bathed in a glowing evening light. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bloemen, Pieter van (Flemish painter, 1657-1720) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to manner of Asselyn, Jan (Dutch painter, ca.1610-1652) Previously attributed to manner of Heusch, Jacob de (Dutch painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, 1657-1701) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8477... | Go to resource |
