Pseudo van de Venne

Pseudo van de Venne is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.

Pseudo van de Venne made small, lively scenes of village life. Look at “Încăierare între țărani” for a rowdy clash between peasants with pitchforks and clubs. “Satirul și țăranul” shows a grinning, horned figure whispering to a worried farmer. These pictures belong to the Dutch Golden Age, when artists often painted everyday fights and fables in rich colors. Tap “Satirul și țăranul” next to see more of those sharp little stories.
