a Flemish landscape painter who after a successful career in Antwerp, emigrated in the latter part of his life to England. His topographical views stand at the beginning of the English landscape tradition. Siberechts arrived in England around 1672 and spent the first three years in England painting decorations in the Duke’s newly built Cliveden House at Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England. From the second part of the 1670s and in the 1680s he travelled widely in England completing numerous commissions for aristocratic clients.
