A very similar landscape, of equally large dimensions, also deploying the central motifs of the chapel set before a fortified bluff as well as very similar groups of revellers and fishermen in the foreground was sold in these Rooms, 17 December 1998, lot 48. We are grateful to Dr. Alexander Wied for endorsing the attribution to Frederick van Valckenborch on the basis of photographs.
