context_page_description: Pieter Rijsbraeck was a Flemish landscape painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He had an international career which brought him to England and Paris. His sons Pieter Andreas Rysbrack and John Michael Rysbrack were respectively a successful painter and sculptor in England in the 18th century.
context_section_description: Pieter Rijsbraeck was a landscape specialist.  During his stay in France he was influenced by the classicist art movement that arose in the last quarter of the 17th century.  He was in particular influenced by the French landscape artist Gaspard Dughet who painted in this classicizing style. His paintings often include mythological themes set in an idealized landscape.
  As was the custom at the time, Pieter Rijsbraeck regularly collaborated with other artists who were specialists in a particular genre.  He collaborated with the still life painter Jan Pauwel Gillemans the Younger on two pendants depicting a landscape with a fruit still life painting (Private collection).  The paintings are good examples of the classicizing style of the time.  Pieter Rijsbraeck painted an idealized landscape in broad brush strokes which contrasts with the detailed fruit still lifes painted by Gillemans.
  Pieter Rijsbraeck was a gifted etcher.  A series of six etches depicting mythological scenes in idealized landscapes is in the collections of the Rijksmuseum and the British Museum.
