View of Loevestein Castle

Aelbert Cuyp, 1630 - 1691

Albert Cuyp, Roghman’s senior by seven years, has here also depicted Loevestein Castle from a distance. In contrast to Roghman’s castle hidden from view by trees, Cuyp drew the gabled roof rising above the lowgrowing vegetation. The fishermen in the foreground lend the scene an anecdotal character.
