Description: | The depiction of animated groups of figures in rich and elaborate costumes enjoying their leisure in an outdoor setting, usually a formal garden or a park, belongs to the genre of conversation paintings' in the open air and it anticipates the eighteenth-century fête champêtre. The two couples represented on the left derive from Rubens's Garden of Love (c. 1633, Prado, Madrid, inv. no. P01690). The reverse composition suggests that the painter might have known Rubens's work through prints, such as Venus Lusthoff, an engraving by Peter Clouwet published in 1665. | Subjects: | everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: David Teniers II (Flemish painter, 1610-1690) Æ Attributed to circle of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8988... | Go to resource |
