Circle of Nicolaes Berchem (1620, Haarlem - 1683, Amsterdam) Architectural capriccio with herds Oil on canvas, 57.5 x 74 cm - with frame 76 x 93 cm The examined canvas is to be referred to a follower, by Nicolaes Berchem, artist Dutch born 1620, son of the still life painter Pieter Claez, from whom he received the first rudiments of painting. His training and his painting are deeply linked to Italy, the country where he traveled and studied; a first trip must be prior to 1642, a period in which his presence is documented in the Guild of Saint Luke of Haarlem, one of the most important guilds of artists in Flanders and the Netherlands, particularly active in the Baro period
