Catalogue Note

This charming view probably came from a sketchbook. Although it has been attributed to Paul Bril, it is closer in style to Florentine artists working in the early 1600s such as Bazzicaluva and Cantagallina. It has many similarities with a sketchbook of views by their teacher, Giulio Parigi, sold London, Christie's, 5 July 1988, lot 56.
