Life

Jan Frans van Bloemen, brother of Pieter van Bloemen, mostly stayed on in Rome. The landscapes of Claude Lorrain and Gaspard Poussin have exercised the greatest influence on him; it is the latter, of course, in the rhythmic beauty of the trace after, but surpasses him often in terms of clarity and shade of the Far, earning him the nickname " Orizzonte " procured.
