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 fue pintor flamenco activo en Italia, reconocido por sus escenas de género bamboccianti y posteriormente por pinturas históricas clásicasizantes. Pintor cortesano de Carlos Emanuel II, Duque de Saboya.
