The artist’s family fled Flanders to the neighboring Dutch province of Zeeland. In Middelburg he specialized in precious flower pictures and landscapes like this one, where the decorative distribution of trees, the stage scenery of castle, farmhouse, and distant town, and the operatic ensemble of colorful characters seem more Flemish than Dutch.
