Description: | The signature on this painting was probably added in the eighteenth century, when landscapes by Willem van Mieris were highly valued by French and German collectors. Instead of Mieris's mythological or historical landscapes, a bucolic theme dominates this scene with a group of herdsmen looking after their cattle by a river. The extensive brick and stone bridge over the river gorge and the ruined buildings on the left suggest an Italian setting. The style and treatment of this imaginary landscape are closer to the work of a member of the Dutch Griffier family of painters who were active in England. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (cattle) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Griffier, Jan, II (Dutch painter, active 1738-1773 in England) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to Dutch School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9010... | Go to resource |
