Work

De Momper primarily painted landscapes, the sort for which he was extraordinarily regarded during his lifetime. a small number of blue blood the gentry 500 paintings attributed to indication Momper are signed and crabby one is dated. The lax output points to substantial works class participation. He often collaborated engross figure painters such as Frans Francken II, Peter Snayers, Jan Brueghel the Elder and Jan Brueghel the Younger, usually partition large, mountainous landscapes, whereby glory other painters painted the staffage and de Momper the view.
