Om maleriet
Wouter Knijff (ca. 1607-after 1693) became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St Luke in 1640. Very little is known about his life but was obviously influenced by Jan van Goyen's (1596-1656) palette and compositions.
This townscape was executed in a very loose brushwork, a characteristic of Wouter Knijff's style. He specialised in river landscapes in which he tent to repeat the same scheme in different versions. His landscapes can be topographically accurate but also imaginary. H.-U. Beck suggested a view of Utrecht. If not Utrecht, the present painting gives anyway a good idea of the Dutch atmospheric countryside.
