Regelmäßige Führung: In goldenem Licht
Italy, rich in art and culture and also enjoying a mild climate, has attracted artists from other countries, especially from the north, for centuries. In the 17th century, many Dutch and Flemish artists were drawn to Italy, choosing to live and paint in its cities and landscapes, especially Rome and its surroundings. From around 1640, some of these artists specialized in landscape painting, which had become a distinct genre since about 1600, and included artists like Jan Both, Adam Pynacker, and Jan Asselijn. They organized themselves into communities in Italy, with the Roman Bentvueghels being the most well-known. Pieter Bodding van Laer formed the Bamboccianti group. Upon returning to the Netherlands, their works stood out from the cooler northern landscapes and darker genre scenes. An example is Cornelis van Poelenburgh who painted Italianizing landscapes with mythological or biblical scenes. These artists also influenced others, like Nicolaes Berchem and Jan Wijnants. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to see works from all main representatives of the long-overlooked Dutch Italianists. The paintings are part of a Luxembourgish private collection and have never been publicly exhibited.
