  • A richly dressed seigneur, seen bottom right, surveys a panoramic landscape with a castle (or fortified gate-house), peasants toiling in the fields, travellers on the road and a distant view of a port. Unquestioned as a work by Rembrandt by its previous distinguished owners, including the dealer Jean de Julienne, the duc de Choiseul, the prince de Conti and the comte de Vaudreuil, certain elements of the picture now appear clumsy compared to Rembrandt’s known landscapes of the late 1630s and early 1640s. The signature, too, seems to have been added by another hand. The attribution of the present picture remains problematic. This work was said at the time to be by another artist connected with the Rembrandt studio, Jan Lievens. The technique of the present work, however, remains closer to what is known of Flinck’s landscape style than to that of Lievens.
