Pieter de Molijn
(1595 - 1661)
 
Pieter de Molijn, was a Dutch Golden Age painter and engraver born in London of Flemish parents, lived and worked in Haarlem, the cradle of the typical Dutch landscape in painting.
He played a not insignificant part in the development of landscape as a genre. Around 1626 he became one of the first people to stress the creation of mood. Towards the middle of the seventeenth century, when he painted this work, this was still the fashion in landscape painting.
