The present composition is a good example of the work of the leading Dutch Italianate painter Jan Both, datable to the second half of the 1640’s – perhaps the most important period of this artist’s short career. Both was one of the most gifted and innovative of the Dutch Italianate landscape painters and was to exert a profound influence over many of the most important landscape painters of the seventeenth century, including Adam Pijnacker, Nicolaes Berchem, Jan Asselyn and Aelbert Cuyp. Works by the Dutch Italianate painters, and especially those of Both and Berchem, were voraciously sought after by collectors during the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries and were, as Seymour Slive pointed out: ‘once more sought after than works by Rembrandt, Frans Hals or Vermeer’.
We are grateful to Frits Duparc for confirming the attribution of the present painting to Jan Both.
