Hendrik Voogd
We continue our special month with the Rijksmuseum collection. Enjoy! : )
Voogd was known as the "Dutch Claude," after the French painter Claude Lorrain, who was famous for his history landscapes bathed in golden light. Voogd painted the gardens of the Villa Borghese in Rome in the late afternoon. The sun casts long shadows, and the trees stand out sharply against the sky. Strolling figures are enjoying the magnificent sunset. In the foreground, an artist is seated against a tree and drawing.

P.P.S. Looking for an exquisite tranquility and luminosity? You will find them in Dutch landscapes—that wide sky, the golden corn, the vast expanse of landscape beyond ... Here you will find happy days in the landscapes of Peter de Wint. <3
