Italy, rich in art and culture, and its mild climate attracted artists from various countries, especially the northern countries, for many centuries. In the 17th century, this included many Dutch and Flemish artists who settled in Italian cities and landscapes, mainly Rome and the surrounding countryside, to live and paint temporarily. Around 1640, some specialized in landscape painting, a popular independent genre around 1600, including Jan Both, Adam Pynacker, and Jan Asselijn. These artists organized themselves into local communities, the most famous being Rome's Bentvueghels led by Pieter Bodding van Laer, who formed the group of Bamboccianti. After returning to the Netherlands, their works stood out from the typically cool Dutch landscapes or darker genre scenes. An example is Utrecht's Cornelis van Poelenburgh, who painted Italianate landscapes with mythological, pastoral or biblical scenes. They also influenced colleagues like Nicolaes Berchem and Jan Wijnants, who, without visiting Italy, adopted this new style. This exhibition offers the rare opportunity to relate works by all main representatives of the long-neglected Dutch Italianists. The paintings are part of a Luxembourgish private collection and have never been publicly exhibited.
