Lot 56

Description

Circle of Nicolaes Berchem, 
Dutch 1620-1683- 

An Italianate mountain landscape with figures washing their clothes in a stream, with cattle and sheep, and a bridge beyond; 

oil on canvas, bears signature 'NB fec. 1676' (lower left), 88.8 x 117.3 cm. 

Note: 
Berchem was a hugely influential and prolific painter of Dutch Italianate landscapes, often characterised by their distinctive combination of dramatic, mountainous vistas, occupied by imposing ruins, and with the rustic figures and cattle of the Dutch pastoral tradition. 

The present work is heavily reminiscent of Berchem's idealised and highly atmospheric landscapes, suffused with a warm light which renders the scene particularly evocative. Similar works by Berchem include a landscape which sold at Koller, Zurich on 22 March 2024, lot 3033, and another which sold at Hampel, Munich, on 7 December 2023, lot 358, which also features the motif of women washing their clothes in a stream, surrounded by cattle.
