专家说明

This painting belongs to a small group of approximately fifteen landscapes by Esaias van de Velde that depict scenes from the Old and New Testaments, the earliest of which being the pendant Pilgrims to Emmaus (Summer) and Flight into Egypt (Winter) which George S. Keyes has dated to circa 1612/13 (see Keyes, op. cit., nos. 7 and 14). For another example of van de Velde's religious landscapes, see lot 83 in this sale.

A highly similar composition of rocky cliffs with a waterfall, also dated 1625 but on a slightly larger scale, is today in the Museum of Foreign Art, Riga (see Keyes, op. cit., no. 178). Both paintings testify to van de Velde's awareness of and interest in Roelandt Savery in the mid-1620s.
