Specialist note

The villa, possibly at Tivoli, was owned by Gaspard Dughet, known as Gaspard Poussin (1615-1675). Huet possibly drew this view under the mistaken impression that he was paying homage to Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), the famous classical landscape painter who was Gaspard's brother-in-law.
