Über das Gemälde
Frederick de Moucheron (1633-1686) trained with Jan Asselijn in Amsterdam and worked in France (Paris and Lyon) for several years before settling definitively in Amsterdam in the late 1650s. He belongs to the second generation of Dutch Italianates such as Nicolaes Berchem, Jan Both, Karel Dujardin or Jan Baptist Weenix and specialised in landscape painting reminiscent of his master's and Jan Both's work. His son, Isaac, trained with him and also become an important landscapist.

This painting, one of a pair (see 480-1882), is a typical example of F. de Moucheron's classical Italian landscapes in which small figures are set in vertical, almost overwhelming vegetation, bathed in a golden Mediterranean sunlight. This highly refined construction looks far less naturalistic than those of the previous generation of Italianate landscape painters such as Cornelis van Poelenburch and Bartholomeus Breenbergh. Its structure complements the other one's as the rocky versant looks symmetric to the mountain with a statue on the other painting. In this respect, this painting should probably be hung on the left while the other is on the right.
