Landscape with Antique Ruins and Bathing Women
about 1552/53 | Lambert Sustris
Born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands painter Sustris went to Italy at and early age and, following a stay in Rome, settled in Venice in around 1545. Here we find impressions of the art of those two cities combined with a preference found in northern Europe for depicting landscapes. The ruins reflect the artist’s first-hand experience of still extant ancient buildings in Rome: from the Pantheon to the baths, the Temple of Vespasian and the Obelisk.
