Cornelis Saftleven, master of landscape and animal scenes

Influenced by the northern workshops of his time, he skillfully blended naturalism with a certain pictorial poetry in his rural scenes. Among his famous works are studies of animals and populated landscapes, where each detail tells of daily life.
