The Ford
by SIBERECHTS, Jan, Oil on canvas, 120 x 160 cm
The dynamic, cosmic vision in the tradition of Rubens is absent from Jan Siberechts’ The Ford. The artist was seduced by Dutch landscape art with its lightness of touch, and clear, impressionistic atmosphere. Siberechts’ vaguely erotic paintings have, however, a certain solidity of form and evenness of execution.
