Description: | Signed: yes Description: Dated 1627, this work was painted around the time Lucas van Uden entered the Antwerp Guild. Like many of Van Uden's landscapes, the present painting seems to have been composed from the artist's imagination. The almost chiaroscuro illumination (extreme contrasts of light and dark) of the extensive landscape is explained by the dramatic weather conditions and a bright rainbow is visible on the horizon. Tiny details, such as birds, are meticulously rendered. The animated figures are attributed to David Teniers; a pentimento of a striding man is evident to the naked eye. Several lines visible in the centre of the work could possibly be under-drawing. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (birds sheep) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Uden, Lucas van (Flemish painter, draftsman and printmaker, 1595-1672) Æ Teniers, David, I (Flemish painter, 1582-1649) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8892... | Go to resource |
