Joos de Momper the Younger (1564-1635) was a key figure in the transition between imaginary panoramic landscapes of the late sixteenth century (the so-called ‘world landscapes’) and the more naturalistic Flemish landscapes of the seventeenth century. The rocky mountainous landscapes for which he became most famous might have been loosely inspired by his journey through the Alps, but he deliberately departed from nature as observed using stock motifs instead that we can find in a number of his other works. De Momper frequently collaborated with other artists, as was customary for landscape painters of the period. First, he would have painted the landscape; another artist would then have provided the figures afterwards. Many of his collaborators are known by names such as: Jan Brueghel I , Jan Brueghel II, Sebastian Vrancx , etc.
