Description: | An almost identical version or copy of a painting of the same subject in the Slovak Gallery, Bratislava, is attributed to Willem van Herp (1614-1677). Van Herp was an Antwerp genre painter much influenced by Rubens and David Teniers the Younger. The depiction of the fiddler's vacant stare and unkempt dress pokes fun, rather maliciously, at his blindness. | Subjects: | everyday life (blind fiddler) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Herp, Willem van, I (Flemish painter, ca. 1614-1677) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Dutch School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9163... | Go to resource |
