Lot Essay

Dr. Klaus Ertz ascribed a cohesive group of paintings, formerly known as 'The Treviso-group', to Joose de Momper II's son, Philips de Momper (see K. Ertz, op. cit., pp. 414-24, 452-3 and 642-3). Depicting views in Rome and Treviso, these works must have been produced in the 1620s at the earliest by an artist who had come under the influence of Joose de Momper and who had visited Italy. Philips was very family with the work of his father, in whose studio he had trained, and travelled to Italy with Jan Brueghel the Younger in the early 1620s.
