Landscape with a Battle between Two Rams
Baroque

This animated scene stands in opposition to the grand, classical tradition represented by Poussin, Claude, and Bourdon. The picture is ascribed to Jan Miel, who moved to Rome in the 1630s. He specialized in scenes of contemporary life referred to as bambocciate, after the nickname of the creator of the genre, Pieter van Laer. Although Miel"s work stands in contrast to the premise of classical landscapes, he is known to have collaborated with Gaspard Dughet and it has been suggested that the landscape in this picture was painted by Dughet with the figures added by Miel.
Jan Miel (1599 – 1663)
Jan Miel vereinigte niederländische Realismus und italienische Barockkunst und schuf beeindruckende Gemälde von Alltagsszenen sowie historische Werke im klassischen Stil. Er diente Herzog Charles Emanuel II. von Savoyen und wird für seine außergewöhnliche künstlerische Qualität gefeiert.
