ID: #5500 | Dutch painters | People

The painting depicts a rustic scene of various people going about their daily activities in a setting reminiscent of a European rural or Mediterranean village. Dilapidated buildings with fluffy vegetation add a historical touch to the scene. In the foreground, men can be seen negotiating a horse, while around them people are resting and engaged in various activities as if in a remote part of the village.

Philips Wouwerman (1619-1668) was a Dutch master, famous for painting mainly riding and hunting scenes. Born in Haarlem, he became a painter like his brothers. His early works show scenes from daily life, for example Harvest. Later, however, found his passion in hunting - Rest Stop and military scenes - Courtyard – shoeing of horses. Similarly to Jacques Laurent Agasse, it is worth noting his amazing rendition of all breeds of horses in motion. The images, though appearing to act cool, are full of at first glance hidden details.
