About this work

A busy Italian market square fills the scene. Wagons and stalls pack the square. People chat, buy, sell. The colors glow warm under clear skies. This was painted by Pieter Bredael, a Flemish artist who loved Italian streets. He worked in the 1700s, long after the Renaissance ended. His work shows how Northern artists copied Southern scenes. Check out another Bredael, Pieter I van.

Pieter I van Bredael

Pieter van Bredael was the kind of guy who painted cities so busy you can almost hear the carts rattling over cobblestones.
