Description: | Jan Frans van Bloemen, born in Antwerp, settled in Italy as a young man and most of his work is based on the scenery of the Roman campagna. This arcadian scene, with its gargoyle-head fountain and figures in poses recalling antique sculpture, is less a faithful record of a specific site than an idealised, imaginative composite. Bloemen used the same fountain in numerous other compositions. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bloemen, Jan Frans van (Flemish painter, 1662-1749, active in France and Italy) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8621... | Go to resource |
