# Bathing Gypsies [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LINGELBACH, Johannes]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas ## Commentary Dutch artists of a younger generation continued working in Bamboccio's \(Pieter van Laer's\) style in Rome after he left. The most intriguing member of them is Lingelbach who is said to have arrived in Rome via France in 1644. He was certainly there by 1647, reported to have left in 1650, and is documented in Amsterdam in 1653. No work assigned to his Roman years is signed or documented. Nevertheless, more than a dozen have been ascribed to this phase of his activity on the basis of their style. After his return to the Netherlands Lingelbach adds new motifs to his repertoire: equestrian scenes in sunny landscapes reminiscent of Wouverman, bright views of imaginary Italianate seaports, and 'piazzi' crowded with narrative detail. ## Related artworks - [A Sea Battle]() - [Battle of Lepanto]() - [Battle Scene]() - [Crowd in the Piazza del Popolo in Rome]() - [Flemish Town Sieged by the Spanish Soldiers]() - [Peasants Dancing]() - [Peasants Resting Before an Inn]() - [River Landscape]() - [Roman Market Scene]() - [Roman Street Scene]() - [The Battle of Lepanto]() - [Watermill with Peasants Taking Refreshments]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
