JAN FRANS SOOLMAKER (Antwerp, 1635 - 1665) Landscape with Figures Oil on panel, 73.5X64.5 cm Provenance: London, Christie's, 13 December 1991, lot 204 Bibliography: https://rkd.nl/imageslite/646923 The artist is known for his Italianate landscapes, showing a style influenced by Nicolaes Berchem. The artist's catalogue counts very few works and quite a few also show themes and motifs inspired by Philips Wouwerman, a feature not uncommon in many Antwerp painters of the second half of the 17th century. Whether this is an indication of an active period in Haarlem remains uncertain.
