Lucas van Uden

LARGE ANTIQUE PAINTING FROM THE 17TH CENTURY Luca Van Uden (attributed) (ANTWERP, 1595 - ANTWERP, 1673) PAINTING, LANDSCAPE OF BRABANT Oil on canvas Dimensions: cm 177x236 Lucas van Uden (Antwerp, October 18, 1595 – Antwerp, November 1672) was a Flemish painter and engraver specializing in landscapes. A student of his father Artur, Lucas van Uden joined the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp in 1626-27. Although he had nothing to do with the school of Pieter Paul Rubens, the debt to the master of Baroque art is evident in his works; his technique also derives from other painters, such as Joos de Momper and Jan Brueghel the Elder. His paintings show majestic views, landscapes in which green stands out, in various shades; small human figures are present in them: shepherds, travelers, or farmers. Many of the characters painted by van Uden are inspired or copied from the works of Rubens and David Teniers the Younger. He executed landscape backgrounds for paintings by Rubens. His engravings are preserved in many museums. Works o Watermill, (Antwerp) o Landscape (Antwerp) o Landscape (St. Petersburg, Hermitage) o Landscape with rocks and boats (Madrid, Museo del Prado)
