Willem Schellinks was a well-travelled painter who is known for having painted and drawn unusual, original subjects: theatrical views of the court of the Indian Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the Dutch raid on Chatham, Roman winter views along the River Tiber and numerous topographical drawings (for example of Stonehenge). And also two fully signed representations of Dutch troops burning and pillaging a church and a monastery: our painting and the one from the Fine Arts Museum of Copenhagen.
