Dutch Artwork
A detailed Summary of Dutch Artwork
During this last semester I enjoyed learning about the Dutch and their ideas within their
artworks. The best part of the Dutch artwork is the genre paintings. These paintings are

was done in oil on wood panel that dated back in 1586-1674 and Adriaen Van de Velde's
Pastoral Landscape was done in oil on canvas dated back around 1660-1670.

realistic characteristics of art from this period can be reconciled with its possible
meanings. These artists created some of the most beautiful and luminous paintings of the

than any of the other figures in the painting. Looking close at the cow, the cow seems to

area of the pastor. Pastoral Landscape, seems like a peaceful painting rather than
darkness dominates the painting and with that bright opening our eyes what to escape to
theatricality and innovative lighting effects with Dutch sensitivity to nature. These
causes us to think this. The low key colors and geometric shapes are similar to Jan
from a walk with the animals. His back rest against a tree in what looks like a woody
