An extensive rocky river landscape with pilgrims resting on a path

We are grateful to Dr. Luuk Pijl for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs. Dr. Pijl dates the painting to circa 1615-20, on the basis of strong similarities with a smaller panel in a private collection, Madrid (see the exhibition catalogue, Pedro Pablo Rubens (1577-1640), Madrid, Palacio de Velazquez, 1977-8, no. 126, illustrated), as well as with another picture in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, dated 1616 (Rubens e la pittura fiamminga del Seicento nelle collezioni pubbliche fiorentine, Florence, Palazzo Pitti, 1977, no. 106, illustrated).
