Wouwermans

    0.02 sec.

Wouwermans

Family of Dutch painters, based in Haarlem. The brothers Philips Wouwermans (1619–1668), Pieter Wouwermans (1623–1682), and Jan Wouwermans (1629–1666) all specialized in landscapes with horses and riders and in military scenes.

Philips, born in Haarlem, studied under Frans Hals, and was influenced by the Italian scenes of the genre painter Il Bamboccio (c. 1592–1642). He painted mainly Italianate landscapes and cavalry skirmishes in a bright, elegant style with a light touch. He was immensely prolific, making a fortune from his work, and was highly prized in the 18th century.
