Description: | The painting is very pleasing at first sight, and very Italianate in style and colour, but closer inspection shows its shortcomings: the animals appear humanoid, the legs of the sheep are unconvincing, and the relationship in space between the riders, donkeys and surroundings is unclear. However, the landscape and sky are well done, and the warm colours must have helped the original attribution of the painting to Nicolaes Berchem. It is unclear whether this work was based on an actual Berchem painting, it is more likely to have been a later imitation than a contemporary copy. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (sheep dog) donkeys mules[?] | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Berchem, Nicolaes (Dutch painter, printmaker, and draftsman, 1620-1683) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to circle of Tassel, Jean (French painter, 1608-1667) Previously attributed to Berchem, Nicolaes (Dutch painter, printmaker, and draftsman, 1620-1683) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8638... | Go to resource |
