Attributed to Jan Asselijn,
Dutch c.1610-1652-
Travellers by an aqueduct;
oil on canvas, 60 x 73 cm. (VAT charged on hammer price).
Provenance: Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 24 February 1984, lot 173.
Note: As in much of Asselijn's oeuvre, the present work recalls, in subject, composition and the dramatic contrast of the light sky against the darker foreground, the evocative scenes of landscapes by Claude Lorraine. Trained by the landscape painter Esaias van de Velde, Asselijn is perhaps best known for his painting of 'The Threatened Swan', widely regarded as one of the most important works in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam [SK-A-4].
