 | | This hitherto unrecorded painting is Brueghel’s earliest known treatment of this mythological subject and is an important addition to one of the most celebrated aspects of Brueghel’s oeuvre. |
 | | Unusually for a work by Pieter Brueghel the Younger, the painting has an unbroken provenance since the 18th century, when it entered the Bavarian Royal Collection, in whose possession it remained until 1938, when acquired by the family of the present owner. |
 | | A painting by Pieter Brueghel the younger, Landscape with Saint John the Baptist preaching, is estimated to fetch £400,000/600,000, while a painting executed by Jan Brueghel the younger in collaboration with Joos de Momper, depicting a winter landscape with a cart of a wooded road and a village beyond, has an estimate of £200,000/300,000. |
