Pupil of Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1594/5-1667), Dirck van der Lisse was active in Delft from 1625-26, then lived between Utrecht and The Hague. His reputation among his contemporaries is testified to by the prestigious commission he received from Frederick Hendrick, Prince of Orange for a decorative scheme at Huis Honselaarsdijk, situated to the south of The Hague, in collaboration with Van Poelenburgh and Gijsbert Gillisz. de Hondecoeter (1603/4-53).1 Van der Lisse's most distinctive compositions are horizontal, extensive landscapes such as the present work, depicting an unidentified and possibly imaginary setting with Roman ruins.
