Description: | Very little is known about this work. Its small size might indicate a Dutch origin, where small 'cabinet' pictures were highly collectable. The subject and composition, however, show a distinct Italianate influence. The sunlit mountain vista in the background, for instance, and the foreground set in the shade of the trees appear rather neoclassical. The dispersal of figures, such as the man paddling in the water, might also suggest a frivolous imitation of the larger historical landscapes by master painters like Poussin. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dutch School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8494... | Go to resource |
