Description: | Signed: yes Description: During the second half of the eighteenth century the popularity of the landscapist Aelbert Cuyp grew from a relatively unknown painter to one of the most sought-after masters of the seventeenth century. This Italianate landscape with horsemen and cattle by Jacob van Strij, who like Cuyp was born in Dordrecht, bears the unmistakable influence of that master. In particular, the figure of the seated horseman and the tree-trunk in the foreground, that serves as a repoussoir, are elements also seen in works by Cuyp. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (cattle horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Strij, Jacob van (Dutch painter and printmaker, 1756-1815) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8786... | Go to resource |
