This painting dated 1666 is a collaboration beween Shubert van Ehrenberg and at least fiftheen other painters (a.o. Boeyermans, T, Boel, P., Cossiers, J., de Heem, C., van den Hoecke, R., Immenraet, P.A., Jordaens, J., Thijs, P., van Uden, L.) who painted themself and sometimes signed their own work in this "pictures gallery". Van Ehrenberg painted the architecture as well as the ceiling, the figures being possibly by Biset, Ch.-E.
The landscape painting in the upper right corner is not signed but is most probably by LDV or certainly after him.
