Three wallpaper paintings of a Dutch landscape, Jurriaan Andriessen (attributed to), 1776 oil on canvas, h 326cm × w 124.5cm.
From around 1770, it became fashionable to cover rooms with painted wallpapers. With their idyllic representations, they could transform a canal room into an oasis. These three paintings, together with the parts now missing, showed a continuous Dutch landscape, interrupted only by panelling, windows and doors. They were painted for the room at 22 Nieuwe Doelenstraat in Amsterdam.
