Description: | Signed: yes Description: The Brussels painter Mathys Schoevaerdts appears to set this bustling market scene in his native Flanders, but adds a bizarre detail. The elaborate Baroque fountain at right is in fact Bernini's Tritoni Fountain (1637), located in Rome. Schoevaerdts may have painted an equally fanciful pendant to this picture in which another recognisable Roman landmark, Trajan's Column, was transformed into a fountain; its present whereabouts are unknown. | Subjects: | figure; everyday life; townscape; buildings and gardens; trade and industry (market); animal (horse; donkey; dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Schoevaerdts, Mathys (Flemish painter, active 1682-1694) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8626... | Go to resource |
