Karel Dujardin, 17th-century painter and master of landscape genre
Karel Dujardin, active in the 17th century, distinguished himself by his skill in depicting rural scenes and interiors with great narrative finesse. Influenced by Dutch masters and his stays in Italy, he developed a style blending naturalistic observation and Italian sensitivity to light.
