guided tour
For many centuries, Italy, with its abundance of art and culture and its mild climate, has attracted artists from other countries, especially from the north. In the 17th century, this included many Dutch and Flemish artists, several generations of whom travelled to the cities and landscapes of Italy, preferring Rome and the surrounding countryside, to live and paint there, at least for a while.
From around 1640 onwards, some of them specialised in landscape painting, which had become popular as an independent genre since around 1600, including Jan Both (1615/22–1652), Adam Pynacker (1620–1673) and Jan Asselijn (1610–1652). The artists organised themselves into local communities, the best known being the Roman Bentvueghels (bird troop).
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see works by all the main representatives of the (long-neglected) Dutch Italianate school in relation to one another. The paintings are part of a private collection in Luxembourg and have never been exhibited in public before.
