Description: | Dutch in origin, Nicolaes Berchem is thought to have visited Italy between 1650 and 1654 and he remained heavily influenced by the Italianate landscape. Pastoral scenes such as this one are typical of his work, set in an undulating hillside with a woman washing in a fountain to the left and a villa visible among the trees behind her. A shepherd figure sits on the right while his docile sheep and cattle form the central focus of the composition. Berchem specialised in painting such animals and made extensive studies from life of their movements and expressions. | Subjects: | sheep); everyday life landscape; animal (cattle | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Berchem, Nicolaes (Dutch painter, printmaker, and draftsman, 1620-1683) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8491... | Go to resource |
