Catalogue raisonné: Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 116:

Technical notes: The support consists of a single
piece of plain weave fabric. This painting seems to have
been painted on the same sort of fabric as no. 117. The
two canvases probably come from the same bale of cloth.
All the tacking edges have been preserved. The painting
has not been lined. The canvas has been grounded with a
thin and evenly applied layer of pinkish-brown. In both
paintings there is underdrawing in a dry medium. The
paint layer is thin, opaque and there are finely painted
details. The ground is partly visible in the bottom left section
of the painting. The motif of the house was painted
on the reserved area. The foliage has been painted later
over the blue colour of the sky. The figures in the foreground
have been painted over the water. On the stretcher
there is a label with the text: “Van der Linder, Natura
di Roma, Mart.28”. There is a label on the back of the
painting which includes the text: “studio”. The painting
underwent conservation treatment in 1926 and 1990.

Provenance: Martelli 1804, 28 a; KM 1816, no. 767;
deaccessioned in 1884.

This painting, which is a companion piece to the following
entry, depicts a view of Monte Aventino on the
Tiber. The foreground offers a realistic scene with figures,
one group of three small figures close to a seated
man. The work is a reduced version of a painting in
the Galleria Doria Pamphili in Rome. Today Hendrik
Frans van Lint is best known for his vedute, primarily
from Rome and the Campagna. He also painted a
large number of landscapes inspired by the works of
Claude Lorrain. Busiri Vici lists just over fifty works of
this kind.1 While his smaller works like this one are
completely in his own hand, Van Lint collaborated in
his monumental paintings with Pompeo Batoni and
Franceco Zuccarelli, for instance, on the staffage figures.
