Description: | The courtly subject and the composition in this painting recall the works created by Adam Frans van der Meulen in the second half of the seventeenth century. Although he was born and trained in Brussels, van der Meulen worked for the French court, where he obtained success with his military paintings and designs for tapestries. He specialised in images of Louis XIV's military campaigns and of everyday life at his court. This scene, set in the park of a rural palace, shows the rapid sketchy style and bright colours characteristic of van der Meulen's works. It was probably produced by a follower or imitator. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Meulen, Adam Frans van der (Flemish painter, draftsman, born 1631 or 1632, died 1690, also active in France) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9037... | Go to resource |
