Salomon Rombouts (1655-1702): Village market on the banks of the water, oil on panel

Work: 74 x 68 cm

Frame: 95 x 90 cm

Rombouts was born in Haarlem as the son of the landscape painter Gillis Rombouts and, like his father, he painted landscapes and beach scenes. His parents had had two sons before him that were also named Salomon who died in infancy, leading to some confusion in the literature about his date of birth (previously recorded in 1652). He travelled in 1681 to Italy and is registered there in Florence from 1689 to 1700 (link).
