Description: | The Italianate scenery, with ancient buildings in the distance and fragments of antique masonry in the foreground, is probably imaginary. It is unknown who painted this view, although it was clearly informed by the work of Nicolas Poussin. The composition particularly recalls the works of Poussin's pupil Gaspard Dughet, whose paintings were often inspired by the landscape near Rome and which usually included figures attired in classicising drapery. Dughet was very influential in the eighteenth century, and his works were avidly collected, especially in Britain. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dughet, Gaspard (French landscape painter, 1615-1675, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to school of Poussin, Nicolas (French painter and draftsman, 1594-1665, active in Italy) Previously attributed to Poussin, Nicolas (French painter and draftsman, 1594-1665, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8892... | Go to resource |
