Landscape with a Battle between Two Rams
This animated scene stands in opposition to the grand, classical tradition represented by Poussin, Claude, and Bourdon. The picture is ascribed to Jan Miel, who moved to Rome in the 1630s. He specialized in scenes of contemporary life referred to as bambocciate, after the nickname of the creator of the genre, Pieter van Laer. Although Miel"s work stands in contrast to the premise of classical landscapes, he is known to have collaborated with Gaspard Dughet and it has been suggested that the landscape in this picture was painted by Dughet with the figures added by Miel.
Jan Miel (1599 – 1663)
Jan Miel fu un pittore fiammingo attivo in Italia, noto per le sue scene di vita quotidiana nello stile Bamboccianti e successivamente per dipinti storici ispirati alla classica arte rinascimentale. Pittore ufficiale del Duca Carlo Emanuele II di Savoia.
