Farmyard — Andreas Schelfhout

Andreas Schelfhout. Painted c. 1820 - c. 1830.

A solitary figure seen from the back was a frequent motif in Romantic art. Here, he walks away from us, unaware of our gaze. In this way, we are both drawn into and shut out of the picture. Absorbed by his natural surroundings, the man is immersed in his own world.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Romanticism in the Netherlands, 19th Century, Main building.
