Description: | The relatively small size of this work, its close technique and the prominence of the grazing cattle, associate it with the Dutch painter Adriaen van de Velde. Having trained first with his father, than with a landscape specialist (possibly Jan Wijnants) in Haarlem, Van de Velde returned to his native Amsterdam. The city supported a thriving art market in the seventeenth century and Van de Velde often collaborated with other painters there, adding staffage (human and animal figures) to their paintings. This is one of a pair landscapes attributed to the artist that came to Norwich Castle Museum via the Macro-Patteson collection (see notes below and NWHCM : 1991.1.31 : F). | Subjects: | landscape; animal (cow) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Velde, Adriaen van de (Dutch painter, 1636-1672) Æ Attributed to school of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8532... | Go to resource |
