MADOU, Jean Baptiste.
Scènes De La Vie Des Peintres Neerlandais.
Around the middle of the 19th century in Belgium, genre painting began to play a leading role. Artists were increasingly turning to 17th-century paintings and the depiction of entertainment scenes are, as a rule, placed in an interior. One of the most famous artists of this genre Jean-Baptiste Madou created a famous series of engravings with scenes from the life of the famous Dutch artists of the 15th-17th centuries.
