De aankomst bij de stal
c. 1660 - 1670
Philips Wouwerman brings the chaotic energy of a 17th-century stable to life in this bustling Baroque scene. A brilliant burst of sunlight floods through a massive wooden archway, sharply contrasting with the shadowy, hay-filled interior where travelers and their horses are settling in. You can almost hear the clatter of hooves and the chatter of the crowd as grooms tend to the magnificent white and brown steeds, while chickens and a dog wander freely in the foreground. Wouwerman was famous for his incredible horse paintings, and here he masterfully captures the everyday drama of a busy roadside inn.
