Catalogue Note
Willem Troost, and his contemporary Abraham Rademaker, revived in the early 18th Century the tradition of landscape painting in gouache sustained by Gerrit van Battem a generation earlier. They were both enormously influential on German 18th Century artists in Nürnberg and elsewhere.
