Artist
Pieter de Ruelles
Pieter de Ruelles is a Dutch Golden Age painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.
Dutch painters in the mid-1600s turned church buildings into quiet dramas of light and brick. Pieter de Ruelles specialized in these calm views, capturing the walled city around Utrecht’s convent of St. Agnes in 1650. His single known oil, The convent of St. Agnes, Utrecht, shows a low horizon, solid shadows, and the warm glow of stone under a low sky, typical of the spare realism that flourished in the Dutch Golden Age. Tap the canvas to step inside the shadowed archway.
