Jan Frans van Bloemen, called l'Orizzonte

The canvas support has an old relining which is stable with a small repaired tear of approximately an inch on the tip of the mountain and another possible repair of approximately five inches in the sky upper center. The paint surface over all is in good condition with minor frame abrasions at the sight edges. Inspection under UV reveals scattered infilled losses in the sky and a small number in the landscape and in the tree to the right. Offered in a carved gilt wood frame.
