Description: | Signed: yes Description: Paul Bril was born in Antwerp but moved to Rome around 1574 to benefit from the rich commissions in this city. Here, Bril developed a successful career painting landscape frescoes and canvases for Roman churches and palaces. In his later paintings, he developed a more classical tone evident here in this picture of satyrs dancing in an idyllic landscape. His work was avidly collected. He also sent drawings back to Antwerp to be engraved. This composition was later copied by another Flemish artist, Martin Ryckaert, suggesting it may have been reproduced in this way. | Subjects: | landscape; mythology (Satyrs Pan and Syrinx) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bril, Paul (Flemish landscapist and fresco painter, 1554-1626, active in Rome) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8854... | Go to resource |
