The present scene, depicting a renaissance town church with priests at its doorway, children playing in the foreground and the local gentry in their Sunday best, is a vibrant example of the oeuvre of the Flemish landscape painter Pieter Bout.
A prolific master, Bout worked in many genres, from the present town-scape, with the delicate foliage of its trees closing off the composition to left and right, to dramatic seascapes, and austere winter scenes with skaters on frozen rivers. Made a master of the Brussels Guild of Saint Luke in 1671, he probably was also active in Paris, collaborating with Adriaen Frans Boudewijns in painting the staffage in Boudewijns works, a function he also performed for Jacques d"Arthois.
