Landscape with enraged ox
Adam Pynacker1665-1670
Art Gallery of New South Wales
Sydney, Australia
Pynacker’s landscape evokes an idealized image of Mediterranean light and terrain rather than the Dutch countryside. In the 17th and 18th centuries such works were more highly prized than naturalistic Dutch landscapes. This picture belongs to the most successful period of the artist’s career in the late 1660s when his compositions became larger in scale and more theatrical.
