Artist
Willem Ossenbeeck
Willem Ossenbeeck is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.
Dutch painter Willem Ossenbeeck worked in oils around the early 1600s. Two of his scenes on view here are Mercury and Io, a mythological tale turned into a quiet indoor drama, and Landscape with Shepherd, Shepherdess and Cattle, where soft light falls on quiet fields. Both show everyday figures and stories set against gentle backgrounds. Next, tap Mercury and Io to see how he framed a famous myth in everyday light and shadow.
