Provenance: Private Collection Literature: "Luigi Salerno, passing painters of the seventeenth century in Rome" Vol.II ° pages 810-815 Adriaen van der Cabel or Ary van der Touw (1631 – 16 June 1705), Dutch Golden Age landscape painter active in France and Italy. He was born and raised in the small town of Rijswijk, near The Hague. Cabel was also known as Ary. According to Houbraken, he was a student of Jan van Goyen, and his real name was van der Touw (in English: "of String"), but it wasn't grand enough according to Van Goyen, so he changed it to mean "of Cable." Houbraken wrote that his brother Engel was also a painter, and that Adriaen was already living in Lyon when Johannes Glauber made his grand tour. Cabel moved to Lyon as a young man and spent the rest of his life there. According to the RKD, he lived in Lyon from 1655 to 1658, then in Rome from 1659 to 1666, and finally in Lyon again from 1668 until his death. His bentname was Geestigheid. His work is sometimes confused with that of his brother Engel van der Cabel (1641-after 1695), also known as Ange or Angelo. Engel accompanied his brother on his travels and they both married on the same day. Like his brother, Engel became a member of the Bentvueghels with the nickname Corydon, and moved with him to Lyon, where in the year 1672 he became a "Maître-Garde" of the Guild of Saint Luke. The Painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity drawn up by a court expert. Our Reference code D 148
