About this artwork

Sons of a glass painter, Jan and Andries Both studied for a time with the Utrecht painter Abraham Bloemaert, and went to Rome after 1635. Whereas Andries specialized in peasant and lowlife scenes, Jan favored Italianate landscapes in the tradition of Claude Lorrain. When his brother drowned in a Venetian canal in 1641, Jan returned to Utrecht.
