Southern landscape with travelers and farmers: characteristic work of Musherona in Amsterdam.

(1633 Emden - 1686 Amsterdam) Southern Landscape with Travelers and Farmers View from a Hill onto an Arcadian, Tree-filled Landscape, in the foreground a riding, noble couple on horses, a resting figure and a dog. This characteristic, atmospherically tuned work by Moucheron, who was familiar with the then Italianizing landscape painting in the Amsterdam workshop of Jan Asselijn, was created early on. In 1665, the then 22-year-old artist went on a four-year journey to Paris, Rome, and Antwerp. After his return, he mainly depicted southern, tree-rich landscapes with hunting parties, shepherds, and riders, whose figural composition often comes from significant artists such as Adriaen van de Velde, Nicolaes Berchem, Johannes Lingelbach, and Jan van Huchtenburg. Oil on canvas, relined. Remnant of a signature lower left. Dimensions: 78 cm x 74 cm. Framed.
