"Gravy-colored" landscapes from the 17th century by "Dutch masters" were often mocked in 19th-century England, but mocked because of their extreme popularity. It seemed incongruous at the time, and still does, that a coterie of sophisticated and even extravagant aristocrats led by the Prince Regent should pour their sincerest emotions and large reserves of cash into acquiring these small brown pictures. Work by Aelbert Cuyp (1630-1691) in particular was of such desirability that several paintings purchased as his for the Royal Collection at Windsor were later found to be painted by other hands.
