1700s Bringing the Harvest to the Table with Peter Jakob Horemans (Flemish-Dutch painter, 1700-1776)

Peter Jakob Horemans (Flemish-Dutch painter, 1700-1776) Lady at a Table Laden with Food

One of my favorite 18th-century Flemish painters is Peter Jakob Horemans (1700-1776), who was active as court painter in Munich. Horemans’s lovingly detailed images, part portrait & part still life, capture the richness of everyday life in southern Germany.
