## Commentary

The dynamic, cosmic vision in the tradition of Rubens is absent from Jan Siberechts&#39; The Ford. The artist was seduced by Dutch landscape art with its lightness of touch, and clear, impressionistic atmosphere. Siberechts&#39; vaguely erotic paintings have, however, a certain solidity of form and evenness of execution.
