Description: | Karel Dujardin frequently painted scenes set in imaginary Italianate landscapes, populated by elegant horsemen and women, shepherds, peasants, cattle and sheep. Here he concentrates on a group of cattle, sheep and peasants, prominently displayed in the foreground. A ruined castle dominates the background of the painting, which is reminiscent of Roman and medieval architecture which the artist would have seen during his visit to Italy between 1640 and 1650. | Subjects: | landscape; buildings and gardens; figure; animal (sheep dog) cows | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dujardin, Karel (Dutch painter and printmaker, 1626-1678) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8900... | Go to resource |
