Description: | This painting is traditionally attributed to the Dutch landscape painter Philips Wouverman, and it would certainly not be out of place among the battle scenes produced by the artist during the latter part of his career. However, the interesting possibility has been raised (by Andrew Moore, see publication details and notes below) that it was painted in the style of Wouverman by the eighteenth-century Dutchman Peter Tillemans, who is known to have painted, copied and repaired a number of works for the Suffolk antiquary and patron of the arts Dr Cox Macro (from whose collection this work probably derives). The variable quality of the paint, which has deteriorated over time, and the ambiguous remnants of a signature, only add to the difficulty of attributing the work with greater certainty. | Subjects: | landscape; military and war | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Wouwerman, Philips (Dutch painter, 1619-1668) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8532... | Go to resource |
