Om maleriet

Franz de Paula Ferg (1689-1740) was trained as a landscape painter by his father, Adam Pankraz Ferg (1651-1729) and Josef Orient (1677-1747). He also studied staffage painting with Johann (Hans) Graf (1653-1710). In 1718 he left Vienna to Franconia, Bamberg and Leipzig and later travelled to Lower Saxony. In 1724, he settled in London where he died in misery.

This painting and its pendant (574-1882) were long attributed to the Dutch painter Carel van Falens but are now generally reattributed to Franz de Paula Ferg as originally stated. This painting is a typical example of his production that combines influences of the Dutch, Flemish and Italian schools and are depicted in a relatively dark palette.
