Description: | The authorship of this small devotional work has been disputed. Several German and Flemish artists produced small scale works, often on copper, in which a religious scene is set in a landscape, a developing genre during the early seventeenth century. Several of these artists also spent time in Italy and were influenced by Alpine and Italian scenery as a result. In this picture Italian cypress, sycamore, poplar, silver birch and wild thyme have been identified. It is currently attributed to the Augsburg-born König who visited Venice soon after 1606 and was in Rome 1610-16. | Subjects: | St John the Baptist) religion (Virgin and Child | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: König, Johann (German painter, 1586-1642) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to German School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8697... | Go to resource |
