Description: | Jan Hackaert was born in Amsterdam, where he painted Italianate landscapes that seem to be derived from those of Jan Both. Hackaert travelled to Switzerland in 1653 drawing the waterfalls at Schaffhausena and is thought to have returned to Switzerland two years later, and possibly Italy. His Italian views suggest a first-hand knowledge of the campagna. He was a friend of Van de Velde, who sometimes painted figures and animals in his pictures. It is suggested that Hackaert employed Johannes Lingelbach for his figures in this painting. He used Lingelbach for the figures in Departure for the Hunt with Falcons (Montreal Museum of Fine Arts), which is a late work. He also painted a number of wooded landscapes in Dutch settings. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hackaert, Jan (Dutch painter, printmaker, 1629-ca.1700) Æ Attributed to Attributed to Lingelbach, Johannes (German painter, baptized 1622, died 1674, active in the Netherlands and Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8662... | Go to resource |
