# Autumn Landscape [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [STRIJ, Jacob van]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 229 x 210 cm ## Commentary This painting, depicting an autumn landscape with a shepherd and his herd and travellers near an inn, formed part of a rare set of six wall-hangings by the brothers Jacob and Abraham van Strij. Only very few complete or almost complete sets have survived, one of which, a set of seven, is now in the Dordrechts Museum, Dordrecht, and another set of five is in the Haags Gemeentemuseum, The Hague. Wall-hangings became very popular in the second half of the 18th century, when several factories in Amsterdam were established producing these wall-hangings for the canal houses. The workshop of the Strij brothers also produced wall-hangings which are often signed by only one artist, the main contributor, in this case Jacob. However, in most cases the hand of both painters can be seen. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 11 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/18\_cent/vivaldi\_rv293\_autumn.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto in F major RV 293 op. 8 No. 3 \(Autumn\)</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Cattle and a Donkey in a Landscape]() - [Landscape with a Shepherd]() - [Landscape with Cattle]() - [Two Boeiers and a Cat under Sail]() - [Wooded Landscape with Resting Cattle]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
