Description: | This landscape could have been painted by Adam Frans van der Meulen, who worked for Louis XIV from 1664. However the horses and the foliage are closer to the style of the French painter Joseph Parrocel. Van der Meulen specialised in scenes of everyday life at the court. He followed the King as part of his entourage and produced studies for different series of tapestries representing the royal palaces and the life of Louis XIV. The elegant horsemen in this painting belong to the type of courtly subject which was characteristic of his work. | 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 Attributed to Parrocel, Joseph (French painter, 1646-1704) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9042... | Go to resource |
