The See also:influence of a See also:long stay in See also:Rome begun at an See also:early See also:age is seen in his landscape and back-grounds, but in his subjects he remained true to the Dutch tradition, choosing generally lively scenes from See also:peasant See also:life, as markets, feasts, See also:bowling scenes, farriers' shops, robbers, See also:hunting scenes and peasants with See also:cattle
.
From this See also:taste, or from his See also:personal deformity, he was nicknamed Bamboccio by the Italians
