Adriaen van Stalbempt (Antwerp 1580-1662) and assistant
Fluvial Landscape with a Group of Courtiers
Oil on wood, 45.8 x 70.1 cm
An idyllic image of the Flemish countryside, traversed by placid rivers reflecting the sky, trees, and buildings, this landscape shows echoes of Jan Brueghel the Elder in the structure and theme of life at court, but also of Rubens in the close-up viewpoint which enables a more involved participation in the scene.
