Description: | Signed: yes Description: The Adoration of the Shepherds is one of Cuyp's most popular subjects, which he repeated in innumerable versions, each with a different composition. Benjamin Cuyp was a master of genre and biblical themes. A limited palette of earth colours and red accents, applied thinly with rapid brushstrokes, constitutes Cuyp's stylistic trait. His compositions were often dramatic with shafts of light in the sky, a device which derived from Rembrandt. Cuyp was also influenced by Abraham Bloemaert and Leonard Bramer (1596-1674). Most of Cuyp's genres are represented in the Dordrecht's Museum. | Subjects: | religion | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Cuyp, Benjamin Gerritsz.
