Qualitative works in the entourage of jan peeter verdussen, lucas van uden or david II teniers. Technique: painting, oil on oak panel (thick, see images). In good condition. Jan peeter verdussen (1700-1763) is a flemish painter mainly known for his late baroque style, mixing realism and dynamism in narrative compositions. His work focuses on landscape scenes, battles and animated views. He strives to represent the surrounding landscapes, civilians and animals, integrating elements of everyday life. His paintings use warm and earthy tones, typical of the baroque, while showing a certain luminosity that highlights the intricate details of clothing and landscapes. Active in both flanders and other parts of europe, his style reflects a synthesis between the 17th-century flemish tradition (attention to detail, naturalism) and more classical french influences. Verdussen is distinguished by his ability to capture energy and movement in his scenes, while paying homage to the baroque aesthetic, which favors richness and visual complexity.
