Throughout the 17th century, a steady stream of Dutch painters made
the arduous journey to Italy, the acknowledged 'home of art'. But
they were more inspired by the country itself than its artistic
tradition. In their paintings, they recorded the glittering
distances of the Roman campagna, the ruins of earlier
civilisations, and the colourful characters of the streets and
countryside. Hugely popular in their own time, and influential
throughout the 18th century, the 'Dutch Italianates' fell out of
favour in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, for Noel
Desenfans and Sir Francis Bourgeois, founders of Dulwich Picture
Gallery, artists like Nicolaes Berchem, Karel Du Jardin, Philips
Wouwermans, Aelbert Cuyp and Adam Pynacker were names to mention in
the same breath as Rembrandt and Ruisdael.This book once again
celebrates the beauty, virtuosity, observation and humour of the
Dutch Italianate vision while also telling the fascinating story of
Dulwich Picture Gallery itself.
