A Party of Charlatans in an Italian Landscape
by DUJARDIN, Karel, Oil on canvas, 45 x 52 cm
Karel Dujardin is renowned for his sparkling landscapes and popular Italian genre scenes, most of which he painted before his later sojourn in Italy from 1675. This gave rise to the assumption that he had seen the Italian light with his own eyes and therefore must have been in Italy prior to this, although this is not documented.
