From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A View of Savelli near Albano is a 1650 ink by Jan de Bisschop, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a hillside village in the background, set against a backdrop of rolling hills. The scene is rendered in a range of earthy tones, with touches of yellow wash adding warmth to the overall palette. In the foreground, the artist has skillfully captured the texture of the hillside, with brushstrokes that evoke a sense of roughness and depth. The village in the distance is depicted with a sense of simplicity, with clean lines and minimal detail. The artist's use of brown ink and yellow wash creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye into the tranquil scene.
