Urban views were a fairly uncommon theme in Portuguesepainting and even rarer when they did not linked to a particularreligious vow or the representation of some festivity. For thisreason, this painting is endowed with an exceptional value, allthe more so since it dates from the youth of the painter, whois first referred to at the Brotherhood of St. Luke only in 1669.Filipe Lobo, who is only known to have painted another versionof this work, certainly learned his artistic skills with Dirk Stoop,a Dutch painter who was in Portugal in the 1650s. Stoop is knownto have painted a similar work (Mauritshuis Museum, The Hague),which is larger, but has the same framing and lighting, andwhich was certainly the prototype for the work of the youngPortuguese painter.
