Description: | This painting is attributed to Jan Both, a well-known, though short-lived Dutch artist. Both spent several years in the early part of his career working in Italy, where he and his brother Andries, specialised in painting bambocciate scenes of everyday life. He is also known to have collaborated with the French classical landscape painter Claude Lorrain. On his return to the Netherlands in the 1640s, Both abandoned bambocciate subjects. Instead, he painted wooded landscapes inspired by Italian scenery, of which this may be an example, where Claudian influence is apparent in the golden light illuminating the trees. | Subjects: | animal (goat); landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8751... | Go to resource |
