Description: | Lingelbach was born in Germany but moved to Amsterdam with his family when he was twelve and it is likely he received his artistic training there. He later spent at least three years in Italy, which also affected his work profoundly. He continued to paint Italianate street and port scenes after his return, tailoring them to northern European tastes. This painting demonstrates the imagery often featured in his works, combining the exotic Mediterranean coastline and graceful merchant ships common among Dutch marine paintings. The bustling activity of the figures in the foreground, however, is perhaps most reminiscent of Lingelbach's work. | Subjects: | marine; figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lingelbach, Johannes (German painter, baptized 1622, died 1674, active in the Netherlands and Italy) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8496... | Go to resource |
