Jacob Willemsz. de Wet vanhempi / den äldre / the Elder

Jacob Willemsz. de Wet the Elder painted scenes from a 16th-century Italian play called Il Pastor Fido, showing shepherds and nymphs in soft Italian light. One of his works in this set is Amarillis kruunaa Mirtillon, a pastoral scene where a woman crowns a man with myrtle leaves. These pictures belong to the Dutch Golden Age, a time when Dutch artists made everyday scenes feel grand. Tap Amarillis kruunaa Mirtillon to see more of these dreamy, storybook landscapes.
