From the collection of National Gallery of Art
July is a 1690 ink by Cornelis Dusart, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a chaotic scene with people in rough clothes. One man is mid-air, wrestling with a wild horse that’s rearing up. Others lie on the ground—some hurt, some watching. A cart wheel and farming tools are scattered nearby. The dark, swirling lines make everything feel tense and messy. The artist used deep shadows and bold contrasts to make the action pop. This style was common in the 1600s to grab attention. Look up Baroque next to see more dramatic, high-energy art like this.
Cornelis Dusart (April 24, 1660 – October 1, 1704) was a Dutch genre painter, drawer (artists), and printmaker.
