Wooded landscape with travellers on a bridge

Willem Schellinks was active as a painter, draughtsman and engraver, as well as an occasional poet. His travels took him to England, France, Italy, Sicily and Malta, and his return journey to Amsterdam led him through Switzerland and Germany. During his travels he produced numerous topographical views, a body of work he would draw on throughout the rest of his career. His paintings depict predominantly landscapes and townscapes, showing the influence of the so-called Italianates, above all the work of Jan Asselijn. After the artist's death, unfinished paintings were completed by Frederik de Moucheron and Nicolaes Berchem.
