Arcadian Landscape with a Ceremonial Sacrifice
Jan van Huysum (1682-1749), oil on copper, c. 1700-1749
These two scenes are painted on copper, a support that allowed Van Huysum to achieve a remarkably smooth and shiny result. Depicted are Arcadian, or idyllic, landscapes, with temples and figures from Classical antiquity. They are small gems intended for an art lover’s collection.
