Plague in an Ancient City (1652/54)
Michiel Sweerts 🎨
#Art #painting #ArteYArt
An extremely rare Circa 1662 Seascape of historic record,"Port of Constantinople (Istanbul) with ancient Light Tower,distant Mosques and Forts" by Michiel or Michael Sweerts (29 Sept 1618–1 June 1664) Flemish painter-Sweerts was one of the few European artists to visit the City🧑🎨
2/2 Homework. So boring. Should be out drawing ancient sculpture! Michael Sweerts knows what's what, and his day is today.
Interesting comparison JMWTurner's previous Seascape with 2 important previously lost Seascapes rediscovered through our advanced research-Rembrandt van Rijn's 1635 "Storm off the Port Amsterdam"-Michiel Sweerts 1662 "Storm off Constantinople with Old Lighthouse👨🎨 distant Mosques
From 5 September at Doge's Palace
FROM TITIAN TO RUBENS. Masterpieces from Antwerp and other Flemish Collections
Once-in-a-lifetime exhibition featuring masterpieces by Tiziano, Tintoretto, Rubens, van Dyck and Sweerts.
