1783 J. Mielle Pinx.; J.B. Guyard Sculp. LANDSCAPE with travellers resting - Classical art

Landscape with travellers resting outside a ruined building, a man drawing water from a well at right, two horses at left, two goats in central foreground; after Jan Miel.

Jan Miel (1599 in Beveren-Waas – 1663 in Turin) was a Flemish painter and engraver who was active in Italy. He initially formed part of the circle of Dutch and Flemish genre painters in Rome who are referred to as the 'Bamboccianti' and were known for their scenes depicting the lower classes in Rome. He later developed away from the Bamboccianti style and painted history subjects in a classicising style.
