Description: | This landscape painted in the manner of Jan Both exemplifies the popularity of Both's imaginary Italianate compositions in the Netherlands during the seventeenth century. Touches of realism are introduced by means of the figures and trees in the foreground, whereas the background remains idealised and bathed in a golden, Mediterranean light. The architecture seen in the distance is also vaguely Italian. This type of Italianate landscape fell out of fashion in the second half of the nineteenth century, when the painting was acquired. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (cattle) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Both, Jan (Dutch painter, ca. 1618-1652) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8969... | Go to resource |
