Catalogue Note
Willem van Nieulandt the Younger was in Rome for some time around the year 1600, or very shortly thereafter, and was a pupil of Paulus Bril. To judge by the various signed drawings that have come down to us, his style was often rather more rigid than that of the present drawing, but another, more freely executed Roman view that has been convincingly attributed to the artist, in the Van Regteren Altena Collection, shows that he could rise to the level of achievement and atmosphere seen here (see Le Cabinet d'un Amateur, exhibition catalogue, Rotterdam, Museum Boymans-van Beuningen, Paris, Institut Néerlandais, and Brussels, Bibliothèque Albert 1er, 1977, cat. no. 94, reproduced).
