The Dutch artist Karel Dujardin was the leading painter of italianate landscapes in his time. He did not travel to Italy until 1675, where he died in Venice in 1678. The present painting, dated 1673, dates from Dujardin's Amsterdam period and testifies to his extraordinary talent for colouring and rendering the typical Mediterranean light.
