Joost (or Joos) de Momper the Younger was one of the foremost Flemish landscape painters between Pieter Breughel the Elder and Peter Paul Rubens. Brueghel's influence is clearly evident in many of de Momper's paintings. His work is situated at the transition from late 16th-century Mannerism to the greater realism in landscape painting that developed in the early 17th century. He achieved considerable success during his lifetime.
