Description: | This painting is thought to be by a seventeenth century Dutch artist. It is of a size and subject that is sympathetic to this attribution; paintings of classicised landscapes, with small groups of incidental figures, were very popular in The Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Artists who painted such scenes may have been following the example of particular artists, such as the French painter Claude Lorraine, but more generally they were following a trend set by Dutch artists who had studied or worked in Italy to turn away from the rugged idiom associated with paintings from their own country towards the classical style - which was usually regarded as superior - associated with painters from Southern Europe. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dutch School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8718... | Go to resource |
