Description: | Moonlight scenes were fairly unusual in Dutch landscape painting in the seventeenth century, but it was this genre that Aert van der Neer chose to make his own. The motif of nets drying beside a river bank was common in his nocturnal scenes. Van der Neer's paintings did not sell well during his lifetime and he struggled to make ends meet; ironically, they became popular with British collectors in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This picture is probably the work of an eighteenth century imitator. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Neer, Aert van der (Dutch painter, 1603-1677) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Neer, Aert van der (Dutch painter, 1603-1677) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8619... | Go to resource |
