Duringthe late 17th century and the first half of the 18thcentury there was in Flanders a revival of the elder style of landscapepainting. Inspiredby Jan Brueghel the Elder (Brussels 1568 – 1625 Antwerp) younger generations ofFlemish painters respectfully painted very attractive landscapes with peasantscenes in fresh colours. Typical of all of them is a bucolic sense ofhappiness, of “joie de vivre”, with small figures in anecdotally detailed posesset against a backdrop of a pleasing landscape or of some buildings.
