Adriaen van de Velde (bapt.
30 November 1636, in Amsterdam – bur. 21 January 1672, in Amsterdam), was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and print artist. His favorite subjects were landscapes with animals and genre scenes.[1] He also painted beaches, dunes, forests, winter scenes, portraits in landscapes, as well as mythological and biblical scenes.[2] He belongs to a group of painters referred to as the Dutch Italianate painters, who combined Dutch agricultural landscapes with mythological or Arcadian scenes in Italian settings.
His paintings are characterised by their delicate, careful composition and his mastery of lighting effects as well as the human figure.[3]
