Life in the Countryside (Spanish: La vida en el campo) is an oil on canvas painting by Flemish artists Jan Brueghel the Elder and Joos de Momper. It was painted between 1620 and 1622. [3] The painting is kept in the Museum of Prado in Madrid. [2] [1] [3]
This painting is today considered a collaboration between Jan Brueghel the Elder and Joos de Momper. [3] The latter would have painted the landscape, the former the figures, as is customary in paintings considered collaborations of the two. [3]
The large trees in midsection split the composition in two, and are "the vertical counterpoint to the horizontal perspective that is projected in the distance." The painting show the influence of Brueghel the Elder on his own son and de Momper in many ways. Notably, the scenic choice and the representation of figures. [3]

He achieved considerable success during his lifetime.
Peter Snayers or Pieter Snayers (1592–1667) was a Flemish painter known for his panoramic battle scenes, depictions of cavalry skirmishes, attacks on villages, coaches and convoys and hunting scenes. He established his reputation mainly through his topographic battle scenes providing a bird's eye view over the battlefield. He further painted large landscapes and portraits of the aristocracy. He was a regular collaborator of local landscape painters and also Rubens.
The Black Paintings is the name given to a group of 14 paintings by Francisco Goya from the later years of his life, likely between 1819 and 1823. They portray intense, haunting themes, reflective of both his fear of insanity and his bleak outlook on humanity. In 1819, at the age of 72, Goya moved into a two-story house outside Madrid that was called Quinta del Sordo. Although the house had been named after the previous owner, who was deaf, Goya too was nearly deaf at the time as a result of an unknown illness he had suffered when he was 46. The paintings originally were painted as murals on the walls of the house, later being "hacked off" the walls and attached to canvas by owner Baron Frédéric Émile d'Erlanger. They are now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
