1610
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Peasant Who Blew Hot and Cold (copy after Aegidius Sadeler) is a 1610 by Aegidius Sadeler II, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two men in a rustic setting. One man is sitting on a bucket, wearing a hat and a loose-fitting shirt, and holding a bowl. The other man is kneeling on a woven basket, wearing a wreath of leaves on his head and a loincloth, and holding a stick. The background is a warm, beige color. The men seem to be engaged in a conversation, with the man on the bucket looking intently at the other man. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative, with a sense of stillness and calm. This painting is a great example of the Baroque style, which often featured dramatic lighting and intense emotions. To learn more about this style, check out the Baroque movement.
Aegidius Sadeler or Aegidius Sadeler II (1570–1629) was a Flemish engraver who was principally active at the Prague court of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor and his successors.
