About the Item
This early 18th-century Dutch oil painting depicts figures in a picturesque backlit river landscape. It’s influenced by the works of Jan Both (1615-1652).
A falling sun casts an atmospheric glow, rendered in a gentle gradient of tints, illuminating the partially obscured horizon and spilling into the river. It’s distinctly Claudian, with the foreground in shadow, broken by flickers of crisp foliage and highlights on the forms of resting figures.
The composition, with its sinuous tree framing the right-hand side, guides the eye upwards, and then diagonally out towards the hazy distance. The hint of a craggy peak allows the viewer to rest awhile.
Jan Both transformed Dutch landscape painting in the 17th century by interweaving the Arcadian visions of French painter Claude Lorrain (1600-1682), with the rich heritage of the northern masters. As such, he elevated the earthy, gnarled portrayals of nature, which had become synonymous with the Dutch, with a romanticised, near-ethereal, Godly perfection. He influenced numerous others, including Nicolaes Berchem (1620-1683) and Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691). Also Willem de Heusch (c.1625-c.1692) and Jan Hackaert (1628-after 1685).
Born in Utrecht, Both moved to Rome by 1638, and was so taken by the works of Claude that he reinvented his style. He travelled back to Utrecht around 1641, taking his new ideologies with him. He often captured views within the sublime Roman Campagna.
Here, we see a work by a follower from circa 1725.
