From the early 17th century to the end of the 18th century, it was customary for Nordic artists to refine their culture by travelling to Italy, particularly to Rome.
Landscape painting, in particular, was greatly enriched by renowned artists, mainly Dutch, Flemish, and French, who successfully merged their meticulous analytical techniques with the heightened emotionalism characteristic of Italian art.
The result was a captivating genre known as ‘Italianate Landscapes’.
