Note du spécialiste

Formerly attributed to Pier Francesco Mola (1612-1666), this dramatic landscape is now recognized as the work of the French painter, Pierre-Louis Cretey. Cretey is documented in Rome between 1672 and 1679, as well as in Modena in 1677. He is believed to also have worked in Florence at some point, before retuning to Lyon, where in the 1680s he was celebrated as a history painter.
