Further details

ATTRIBUTED TO JAN BRUEGHEL THE ELDER, LANDSCAPE WITH WINDMILLS AND CARRIAGES, A TOWN BEYOND, BLACK CHALK, PEN AND BROWN INK, BROWN AND BLUE WASH

This drawing can be compared to a painting of 1607 by Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625), now in the Galeria Spada in Rome (inv. 167; fig. 1). The son of Pieter Brueghel the Elder (d.1569), Jan reworked and updated many themes initiated by his famous father. While Pieter inaugurated the symbolic image of the mill in The Procession to Calvary (1664, Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, inv. GG 1025), Jan took it up again, integrating it into paintings of the ‘flat country’ that were particularly innovative for their time: here, there is no succession of elements, instead the viewer's gaze runs towards the horizon over a vast plain, whose depth is reinforced by the recurrence of mills (K. Ertz, Jan Brueghel der Ältere: kritischer Katalog der Gemälde, Vol.I: Landschaften mit profanen Themen, Lingen, 2008, p. 320). The attention to detail is evident in every element of the composition: the carts, the animals, and the man busily working in front of his house on the left or in front of the mill to the centre. As L. Prosperetti writes, in reference to the present composition, ‘Brueghel was the acknowledged master of pingere rura and the purveyor of rural views, that were prized trophies in the cabinets of Christian philosophers’ (L. Prosperetti, Landscape and Philosophy in the Art of Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625), London, 2009, p. 116).
