Arcadian Landscape with a Ceremonial Sacrifice — Jan van Huysum

Jan van Huysum. Painted c. 1700 - c. 1749.

These two scenes are painted on copper, a support that allowed Van Huysum to achieve a remarkably smooth and shiny result. Depicted are Arcadian, or idyllic, landscapes, with temples and figures from Classical antiquity. They are small gems intended for an art lover’s collection.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Amsterdam canal room 1748 / Painting, 18th Century, Main building.
