Description: | Signed: yes Description: During the early nineteenth century, Dutch landscape painters transformed the legacy of seventeenth-century landscape painters by integrating Neo-classical elements such as restrained colour and neat brushwork with a romantic atmosphere. This little landscape shows a typical view of woodland and figures developed by Borselen and his fellow artists. Jan Borselen was born in Gouda, and lived in The Hague. He painted Dutch landscapes, and more generic scenes of the countryside, often with fishermen. This painting's nationalistic character is emphasised by the windmill. Such paintings were highly popular with British collectors: in 1880 Borselen exhibited at the Grafton Gallery in London. | Subjects: | landscape;figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Borselen, Jan Willem van (Dutch painter, 1825-1892) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8654... | Go to resource |
