Description: | Architectural ruins frame this imaginary view of a seaport. Fishing boats are moored on the shore, where numerous groups gather around the stalls of a market. The house on top of a tower overseeing the seashore is a typical motif of the capricci attributed to followers and imitators of Pieter Bout and Adriaen Frans Boudewyns. The foreground, densely populated with small figures, characterises Bout's views of harbours and markets. They follow the Flemish tradition represented by Jan Brueghel the elder and David Teniers II, but the subdued palette and fantastical architecture are closer to eighteenth-century taste. | Subjects: | landscape; marine (capriccio) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Flemish School Æ Attributed to school of Bout, Peeter (Flemish painter, 1658-1719) Attributed to Schaekel, Pieter de (unknown school, active early 18th century) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8971... | Go to resource |
