Aelbert Cuyp

River Landscape with Riders

US$ 624.00

Two horsemen pause on a rise above a wide river valley, the whole scene bathed in the warm golden light Cuyp borrowed from Italianate painting and transplanted to the Dutch countryside. The low viewpoint and the animals in the middle distance are characteristic. It is among the largest and most ambitious of his landscapes.

Artist

Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691) spent his entire life in Dordrecht and never travelled to Italy, yet adopted the golden southern light of Italianate landscape painting more convincingly than most who did. He married into wealth in his forties and largely stopped painting. British collectors bought his work heavily in the eighteenth century, which is why so much of it hangs in the UK.
