Description: | Although born in Holland, Otto van Veen is regarded as an artist of the Catholic southern Netherlands, where he spent most of his active life. He seems to have been acquainted with most of the Netherlandish scholars of his time, and his works testify to his broad humanistic learning. Van Veen obviously represents the older generation's more classicising and conservative response to the Counter-Reformation. For him, the return to the spiritual values of the past also implied a recovery of the pictorial style of the High Renaissance, with its deliberate borrowings from the paintings of such artists as Raphael and Correggio. | Subjects: | religion (St Stephen); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lauri, Filippo (Italian painter, 1623-1694) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Veen, Otto van (Flemish painter, 1556-1629) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8664... | Go to resource |
