Dutch painters saw the Italian landscape as heroic as well as idyllic

1805/10 when Ozias was a minor canon of Norwich cathedral and vicar of Stoke Holy Cross

The tower that dominates the horizon is that of the church of St Cunera

either from Schedoni's studio or possibly by the artist himself

Purchased as a painting by Holbein in the 1790s

The picture is considerably damaged and was in unexhibitable condition until restored by Patrick Lindsay in 1984

Formerly catalogued as Van Huysum but probably the work of an eighteenth-century imitator

that Wouwermans acquired sketches and notebooks of Van Laer's after the latter's death

probably a man

The costume suggests a date in the 1590s
