Joos de Momper the Younger worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Joos de Momper the Younger as Flemish painter (1564–1635).
Joos de Momper the Younger was born at Antwerp in 1564. His recorded nationality is Habsburg Netherlands.
This was the period in which the artist became an individual with a signature, a reputation and a price.
He worked as painter and graphic artist.
Among his best-known works are Landscape, Mountain view and River landscape with boar hunt. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
That the work was made in Habsburg Netherlands shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Joos de Momper the Younger died in 1635, aged 71. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
