Description: | Signed: yes Description: Adam Pynacker spent three years in Italy, between 1645 and 1648, working as a merchant on his father's behalf. He belongs to the group of Netherlandish artists known as the Dutch Italianates. Like many Dutch Italianates, he spent some time in Utrecht, and based some of his figures on the staffage of the Haarlem painter Pieter van Laer. His early paintings are characterised by the meticulous reproduction of the details of the surrounding Roman countryside, especially rivers, harbours, and fields. Often he included figures in his composition, everyday people going about their everyday lives. His palette of cool, monochrome tones is enlivened by touches of red or ultramarine. In 1661 Pynacker moved to Amsterdam, where he was commissioned to paint larger works which probably decorated the houses of the wealthy middle classes. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pynacker, Adam (Dutch painter and printmaker, ca. 1620-1673) Æ Circle of Attributed to Sonjé, Jan (Dutch artist, 1621-1673) Previously attributed to Pynacker, Adam (Dutch painter and printmaker, ca. 1620-1673) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8659... | Go to resource |
