      View of the Rhine and the Elterberg, Jan van Goyen (manner of), after 1645

      Van Goyen, Aelbert Cuyp, Herman Saftleven, Joris van der Haagen and scores of other artists made drawings and paintings of the 82-metre high Elterberg.3 In the Rijksmuseum painting the hill is seen from the Tolhuis (Toll House) on the left bank of the Rhine. By the water’s edge on the left is the village of Niederelten, and on the hill itself stands Hochelten with its monastery. This unsigned work has been given to both Van Goyen and Herman Saftleven, but Beck discovered that it is a copy after the right half of a painting which is possibly an autograph Van Goyen.4 Comparable views of the Elterberg by Van Goyen are dated from the mid-1640s on.5 This old copy, which in any event is after a work related to that of Van Goyen, can therefore also be dated after 1645.
