SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Bartholomeus Breenbergh (1598–1657), a native of Deventer, was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and etcher. Recorded in Amsterdam in 1619, he subsequently spent approximately a decade in Rome. There he associated with Paul Bril, observing and copying his paintings, and belonged to the early members of the Bentvueghels, a society of artists from the Netherlands.
Ancient ruins and Italian landscapes informed his drawings and small paintings. Back in Amsterdam by 1633, he gave increasing prominence to biblical and mythological subjects and to the figures within his compositions. Formats grew larger, although he continued making small panels and copper paintings. The Finding of Moses of 1636, in London’s National Gallery, exemplifies this combination of sacred narrative, ancient architecture and imagined landscape.
