Landscape with Grotto and a Rider

Landscape with Grotto and a Rider is an oil-on-panel painting by Flemish painter Joos de Momper.

[3] Cornelis van Dalem's work influenced de Momper in the choice of this subject.

Momper's paintings regularly feature exotic and mountainous topography,[4] and such is the case of Landscape with Grotto and a Rider.

He made use of his memory and imagination to produce foreign vistas with fantastic physical features and glimpses of exotic topography from his studio in Antwerp, Flanders.

[4][5] The painting was part of the collection of Count Hermann Otto I of Limburg-Styrum, and later came in the possession of Amsterdam-based collector Piet de Boer.
