About the Item

We are thrilled to offer this fine and highly detailed early eighteenth-century equestrian oil by an artist in the circle of Jan Wyck (1640-1702) It depicts riders on their horses with handlers in a rustic dune landscape, in the background is a coastal town and after that the distant North Sea. Jan Wyck (1656-1717) Wyck was a Dutch baroque painter, best known for his works on military subjects. There are still over 150 of his works known to be in existence. In an era when French artists dominated the genre, the arrival of Wyck and other Dutch and Flemish artists in Great Britain from 1660 onwards provided the catalyst for the development of military and naval art in Britain. Like other painters from the Low Countries such as Dirk Maas, Peter Tillemans and William van de Velde, Wyck moved to England and worked there throughout his life, often under royal patronage, producing many fine works of battle paintings, portraits, hunting scenes and landscapes as well as advancing the development of British art through teaching. In fact this painting also has some features that can also be found in the paintings of Dirk Maas (1656 - 1717) These include the subject of a riding school in a landscape and also the use of a dark foreshortened horse in the foreground functioning as a repousoir. This fine oil on canvas is in an excellent state of conservation and is ready to hang in an antique carved and gilded frame. Higher Resolution images on request. Worldwide shipping available.
