专家说明

Thomas, Lord Coningsby, formed a substantial collection of pictures, including the celebrated series of views of Hampton Court now in the Mellon Collection. These complemented his Gothic remodelling of the house and remained there until 1973.

A version by Snyders showing only the central part of the composition (98.5 x 95cm.) is in the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, Aachen (H. Robels, Frans Snyders, 1989, pp. 309-10, no. 202, illustrated). The landscape in the present picture is by another hand, close to Jan Wildens.

The subject is taken from the Fable of Phædrus, III, 12.
