Philips Wouwerman
The Hay Wagon
No royal collection in the eighteenth century was complete unless it included some paintings by Philips Wouwerman. At that time, the importance of a collection was only partly judged on its Rembrandts and Vermeers. When the famous painter and art critic Sir Joshua Reynolds visited William V’s Gallery, he began his account by listing the Wouwermans. This was good news for the prince, who owned nine works by the artist.
Wouwerman was popular because he specialised in vast landscapes featuring hunting parties, rural idylls and, above all, horses. And it was these horses that particularly appealed to eighteenth-century royalty.
