"Countryside Party, Northern School, 17th Century, Around 1700."
Countryside party, Northern school, 17th century, circa 1700. The painting we are exhibiting represents a landscape animated by characters against an architectural background. A play of chiaroscuro is to be noted on this canvas characteristic of a new style at the end of the 17th century. This period is the testimony of scenes of daily life and landscapes. Scenes of country life become popular and arouse a craze for both artists and collectors. A sumptuous frame in gilded wood and carved with acanthus leaves, flowers, scrolls and foliage completes the decor. In very good condition. Private collection. Dimensions: Frame: h.112 cm x w.130 cm. Canvas: h.72 cm x w.93 cm
