Description

Holland in the 17th century presented artists with the most man-made landscape in Europe, and one which still exerts a fascination on our imaginations today. The human narrative within the painted landscape ranged from the depiction of peasants working and relaxing in the tradition of Bruegel to an evocation of aristocratic estates, where noblemen hunted and rode. At the same time other Dutch artists were discovering in Italy a range of different subject-matter: the idealised Arcadian landscape, the vitality of the Roman streetscape, or the hot, ruin-covered mountains of the Roman campagna. Finally there was the sea, which played such a vital role in the Dutch mentality, and which was used to suggest the drama of the nation’s life and history. Published in association with Royal Collection Enterprises. For further information, contact Royal Collection Enterprises.

Other titles published by Scala for the Royal Collection include: Seven official souvenir guides, Beauty, Sex & Power, Dutch Landcapes, Italian Paintings and Drawings, The Northern Renaissance and The Royal Collection: Treaures.
