Description: | Signed: yes Description: Rombouts belonged to the Haarlem school of painters working during the latter part of the seventeenth century. He was admitted to the town's guild of painters in 1678 and, like so many of his contemporaries, specialised in landscape and genre scenes. In this fine example, the artist combines elements of both to depict a village fair, centred on a figure speaking to a small gathering. The raised figure is traditionally identified as a mummer', or actor, although the subject of his discourse, whether religious, political or comic, remains unknown to the viewer. | Subjects: | landscape; townscape; figure; everyday life; animal (dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rombouts, Salomon (Dutch painter, ca.1652-ca.1702) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8534... | Go to resource |
