About Artwork: (About 1630) "For those living in Utrecht in the 1630s, this painting must have seemed like a window onto an exotic world. A crowd of naked women pose elegantly while they talk and bathe in a river. Behind them loom the overgrown tower and arches of a Roman ruin, while the bright morning sky glows behind the farmhouses, foothills and distant mountains of what would have been immediately recognisable as an Italian landscape. Paintings like this – offering a vision of the warm south and intellectual references to the lost world of the classics, as well as an excuse to enjoy female nudity – proved extremely popular. Van Poelenburgh was one of several Dutch artists of the time who travelled to train and study in Rome. They profited from what they had seen and learnt when they returned home, developing a lucrative market for paintings in this genre." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
