Description: | The two nearest figures on the left may be compared with similar figures in another Teniers snow scene, and in some drawings, suggest that they may be chimneysweeps. Teniers made a study of such figures, their tools, clothes and characteristic postures. Winter landscapes in the Dutch and Flemish styles remained popular long after the seventeenth century. It is unclear whether this work was based on an authentic painting by Teniers, or simply painted in his style. It also shows some similarities with winter landscapes by a slightly earlier Flemish painter, Joos de Momper the Younger (1564-1635), but the chimney sweeps' prominence makes a comparison with Teniers more apt. A late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century date for this painting seems most likely. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (bird dog) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Teniers, David, II (Flemish painter, 1610-1690) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Avercamp, Hendrick (Dutch painter, 1585-1634) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8637... | Go to resource |
