Description
This painting was long considered to be an unsigned work by Jan van der Heyden, and widely published as such, until a recent cleaning showed it to be substantially later, and revealed an original date: 1789. As the pioneer of Dutch seventeenth-century cityscape painting, a genre that was immensely popular in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Van der Heyden exerted a strong influence over subsequent architectural painters, who imitated his technique. One strong candidate for this painting is Hermanus Petrus Schouten (Amsterdam 1747–1822 Haarlem).
