Dutch Landscapes

Edición de la obra Dutch Landscapes

This book discusses examples of the different types of Dutch landscapes painted in the 17th century. From the human narrative within painted landscape ranging from peasants working and relaxing to aristocratic estates where nobles hunted and rode; to Dutch artists discovering the idealised Arcadian landscape influenced by travel to Italy; to the sea which played such a vital role in Dutch consciousness. Dutch masters Isaac van Ostade, Philips Wouwermans, Paulus Potter, Jacob van Ruisdael, the Van de Veldes and Aelbert Cuyp are all included as representative of the Dutch Golden Age.--Publisher.
