About the Artist

Adam Pynacker

1620 – 1673

Dutch landscape painter, active mainly in Delft and in Amsterdam. He was in Italy for three years (before 1649) and he was one of the outstanding Dutch exponents of Italianate landscapes. His style resembles that of Jan Both and Jan Asselyn, but his mature work often has a distinctive and attractive silvery tonality.
