ASSELYN, Jan
(b. ca. 1610, Dieppe, d. 1652, Amsterdam)

Landscape with Ruins and Hunting Party

c. 1645
Oil on canvas, 47 x 61 cm
Akademie der bildenden Künste, Vienna

The painting is a depiction of hunters in a timeless atmosphere that pass by the viewer and a peasant who greets them and finally vanish through a dilapidated arch. This is a typical image of the South seen by a Dutch painter.
