Description: | This mountainous landscape was probably painted by Allart van Everdingen after his trip to the south-east Norwegian coast in 1644. It shows the influence of Roelandt Savery, with whom Everdingen studied in Utrecht. The predominantly brown palette and the organisation of the space in overlapping dark and light planes are characteristic of his Nordic landscapes, which influenced other Dutch artists such as Jacob van Ruisdael. The waterfall became a prominent motif in his paintings during the 1660s, while the silhouettes of bare trees seen against the sky on the left could have been inspired by Cornelis Vroom. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Everdingen, Allart van (Dutch landscapist and marine painter, 1621-1675) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9045... | Go to resource |
