Bartholomeus van Bassen, master of decorative classicism

Influenced by Italian architecture and the Dutch pictorial tradition, he mastered the sense of perspective and the elegance of figures, signing works where the human scene dialogues with the architectural structure. His architectural caprices, often associated with theater décors or civil compositions, reflect a taste for harmony and proportion.
