Wooded Landscape
by VADDER, Lodewijk de, Oil on panel, 48 x 65 cm
Lodewijk de Vadder became a master in Brussels in 1628 and depicted the Forêt de Soignes in spontaneous atmospheric vistas of sunken roads running between sand-dunes overgrown with heavy trees.The immediate character of his depiction of nature is suggested by his loose brush strokes.
The present painting depicts a wooded landscape with figures on a path, and a village beyond.
