This beautifully preserved landscape is typical of the artist’s panoramic views with their spacious open skies. The huntsman in the foreground and the church in the distance are the only incidents in a relatively featureless landscape. Interest depends on the artist’s painterly style which enlivens the subtle, though restricted, palette of greys, greens, browns and blues. Notes: Exhibited: 'Dutch paintings of the seventeenth century', Ferens Art Gallery, Kingston upon Hull, 1961, no. 69. |
