View of a City along a River

1630

This is a typical example of the kind of landscape produced in large numbers in the workshop of Jan Brueghel I. It was probably made by his son Jan Brueghel II. The execution is freer and at the same time harder. Typical of the work of Jan Brueghel II is the way in which details, such as the church tower, are delineated with the tip of the brush.
