A landscape with waterfall

This recently rediscovered painting on a poplar panel constitutes an important addition to Cornelis van Poelenburch's artistic production in Rome. On account of its silvery tonality and the bare branches which extend outward from the dense foliage, Nicolette Sluijter-Seijffert has suggested it was probably painted shortly before 1620, the year in which Poelenburch came into the employ of Cosimo II de Medici (loc. cit.).
