Beep beep. It's the birthday of Jan van Goyen (1596-1656). I've always found him a tough watch. How many low, flat, wet, grey Dutch landscapes does a fellow need? But the technique is brilliant. Painted on wood. Using earth colours he ground himself. The real colours of the land.

exquisite.
For the ultimate economy of line, look at this one. the woman on the left - how you feel the weight of the bucket balanced against her hand on hip stance, how she looks on with interest. She's not even drawn from the waist down!

En paysagiste du jour j'ai choisi le flamand Gijsbrecht Leytens (1586-1656), qui va se faire le spécialiste des paysages d'hiver surtout avec des arbres aux ramifications nues et monumentales. Son très grand succès l'a quand même fait verser dans une certaine répétition !
