Italy, rich in art and culture and with a mild climate, has attracted artists from other, particularly northern, countries for centuries. In the 17th century, this included many Dutch and Flemish artists, of whom several generations relocated to Italian cities and landscapes, favoring Rome and the surrounding Campagna, to live and paint.
Starting around 1640, some specialized in landscape painting, a genre that became popular by 1600, including Jan Both, Adam Pynacker, and Jan Asselijn. The artists organized themselves into communities, with the Roman Bentvueghels being the most famous. Pieter Bodding van Laer, a member, gathered the Bamboccianti group around him.
Upon their return to the Netherlands, the Italianate artists quickly found success. Their works stood out from the cold Dutch landscapes or darker genre scenes. An example is Cornelis van Poelenburgh, who painted Italianate landscapes with mythological, pastoral, or biblical scenes. They also influenced colleagues such as Nicolaes Berchem and Jan Wijnants, who, without having been to Italy, adopted the new style.
This exhibition offers the rare opportunity to relate the works of all the main representatives of the long-neglected Dutch Italianists, whose paintings are part of a Luxembourg private collection and have never been publicly exhibited.
