Description: | This painting has been formerly attributed to the circle of Salvator Rosa and also to Willem de Heusch. De Heusch was a Dutch painter and etcher from Utrecht. He was probably a pupil of Jan Both; at any rate he painted entirely in Both's style. In about 1640 he may have gone to Italy, returning by 1649, when his presence is recorded at a lottery of paintings, for which he served as one of the experts. He painted primarily landscapes in the style of the Dutch Italianates, sometimes with figures added by Johannes Lingelbach. His motifs and technique, as for example in the Italianate Landscape at Sunset (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam ), clearly reveal the influence of Jan Both, although his manner of painting was smoother and less varied. | Subjects: | landscape (harbour view); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Heusch, Jacob de (Dutch painter, draughtsman, and printmaker, 1657-1701) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to circle of Rosa, Salvator (Italian painter and engraver, 1615-1673) Previously attributed to Heusch, Willem de (Dutch landscapist and etcher, 1625-1692) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8710... | Go to resource |
