拍品专文

The artist takes a somewhat unusual place among the Dutch landscapists of the 17th centry. As pointed out by W. Stechow, Dutch Landscape Painting in the seventeenth Century,1966,p.134, although de Momper's compositions recall the riverscenes by Jan van Goyen and other Haarlem painters, the monochrome colourscheme applied in thin and quick brushstrokes give the scenes a non realistic impression, close in spirit to the fantasy landscapes by Joos de Momper II and Hercules Seghers. The town in the present picture can not be identified and was probably also painted from fantasy, confirming the non-realistic aspects of de Momper's art.
