We do not know under whom our painter studied. Seeing the Flemish character of his work, some scholars believe that he could have studied in Flanders, in Antwerp. Droochsloot was a versatile and productive painter. The central museum in his hometown of Utrecht holds 15 of his paintings, showing the diversity of his work, many other museums exhibit his works Our painting represents a scene that took place during the Eighty Years' War. This Dutch War of Independence from Spain was a long, slow war that lasted from 1568 to 1648. The war began with a Protestant uprising in Flanders and Holland against the Spanish Catholic Habsburgs. It ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648: Spain recognized an independent Republic of the Seven United Provinces, Holland, while Flanders remained Spanish Why buy this painting? Because it is such a rare and original subject for Droochsloot. Many of his works are unsigned. This painting is signed and dated.
