Hands in Paintings (SAM): Abraham Janssens, The Origin of the Cornucopia, ca. 1619, oil on canvas, Seattle Art Museum. According to the label, until Rubens came on the scene, Janssens "was the leading painter in the prosperous city of Antwerp. He had been one of the first northern artists to travel to Italy, where he became familiar with the work of Caravaggio. Like that artist, Janssens wants to break down the barrier between the viewer and painting, so the figures almost reach into our space."
