Artist: Pieter Aertsen - Title: Christ in the House of Martha and Mary - Medium: Fine Art Reproduction Giclee on Canvas - Image Size: Approximately 12.5 inches x 20 inches - Unframed on Unstretched Canvas - Biography: Pieter Aertsen, called Lange Piet because of his height, was a Dutch painter in the style of Northern Mannerism. He is credited with the invention of the monumental genre scene, which combines still life and genre painting and often also includes a biblical scene in the background. He was active in his native city Amsterdam but also worked for a long period in Antwerp, then the centre of artistic life in the Netherlands. - His genre scenes were influential on later Flemish Baroque painting, Dutch still life painting and also in Italy. His peasant scenes preceded by a few years the much better-known paintings produced in Antwerp by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
