Sul dipinto
A sunny verdant landscape with cattle and cattleherders on horseback, a winding river and cityscape (Dordrecht?) visible in the background. Jacob van Strij (1756-1815) studied with Andreas Lens (1739–1822) in Antwerp and graduated from the Antwerp Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in 1776. Jacob was primarily a landscape painter and celebrated imitator of his fellow townsman Aelbert Cuyp (1620-1691). Several contemporary accounts suggest that van Strij produced deceptive imitations of the 17th-century artist. Aside from these close imitations of Cuyp, Jacob forged a personal landscape style as much based on Potter as on Cuyp, characterized by extremely brilliant sunlight, pastel colours and a crisp, thick handling of paint (e.g. Meadow Landscape with Cattle, Amsterdam, Rijksmus.). These include several winter scenes and, like 583-1870, detailed renderings of farm animals.
