Peeter Clouwet

Peeter Clouwet is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Peeter Clouwet made small, detailed prints in the middle of the 1600s. His 1650 engraving Descent from the Cross shows the same arched doorway that appears in his The Cow-House, a view of a low brick shed where cows stand on straw. These prints belong to a Dutch tradition where artists traveled the countryside to document everyday barns, churches, and markets with sharp lines and careful shading. Next, tap The Cow-House to see how he framed a humble farmyard into a quiet scene.
