Description: | In this imaginary landscape, Jacob Esselens represented one of his characteristic riverbanks with elegantly dressed figures. Their leisure contrasts with the efforts of the fishermen working in the river on the left. At the time of John Bowes's purchase of this work in 1840, Esselens was thought to have been a pupil of Rembrandt. However, he was more influenced by other Dutch painters, such as Simon de Vlieger and Adriaen van de Velde. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Esselens, Jacob (Dutch painter, 1626-1687) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9040... | Go to resource |
