About the Item

Abraham van CUYLENBROCH (1620-1658) Diana With Her Attendants in a Grotto 1651 signed oil on panel 12.2 in x 15.7 inches, inc. frame; 31 x 40 cm Provenance: Sale of Sotheby's London: Wednesday, December 6, 1989 [Lot 00219] Abraham van Cuylenborch was a Dutch Golden Age landscape. In 17th-century Dutch inventories, this painting is always described as a grotto, which shows its popularity as an independent motif. Cuylenborch was already enjoying great success with such pictures amongst contemporary critics and collectors. A preference for imaginary views was the most striking characteristic of Utrecht landscape painting in the 1st half of the 17th century. In other parts of the region, artists concentrated on Dutch landscapes or city vedute. Cuylenborch’s oeuvre consists largely of such grotto. Aside from him, only Dirk Stoop and Carel de Hooch were producing comparable cave pictures in Utrecht. Outside Utrecht, his only competitor was the Amsterdam painter, Rombout van Troyen.
