Dutch Italianates (Jan Both)

Details

Description

Jan Dirkszoon Both (1615- 1652)

Both schilderde uitsluitend Italiaans aandoende landschappen, en behoorde dan ook tot de groep "Italianisanten"
(zichzelf ook wel de "bentvueghels"noemende)

Jan Dirksz Both was taught by Bloemaert and Gerard van Honthorst before travelling to Rome.
There he met the French painter Claude Lorrain, with whom he collaborated on a series of landscape paintings.
His landscapes are typically peopled by peasants driving cattle or travellers gazing on Roman ruins in the light of the evening sun.
The every day life of the streets of Rome became a favourite theme in his works.
He focused on pictures of Italian landscapes bathed in a warm, golden light.
This theme was adopted by several other Dutch painters, the Italianates.
