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.
