Willem Jan van der Berghe (1823-1901) is a painter and draftsman from Zeeland who traveled through southern Germany for several years after studying at the Academy of Antwerp. Between 1847 and 1851 he painted mostly mountain landscapes in the Ardennes, Bavaria, Tyrol and the Black Forest. This panel was painted during this period. He then traveled back to the Netherlands where he settled in The Hague and later in Middelburg. His works are included in several Dutch museums, including the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Zeeuws Museum.
