Josse de Momper (in many records also Joos de Momper) was a Belgian painter and art dealer from Antwerp. His father Bartholomäus de Momper, who practised the same professions, was his trainer - his grandfather and great-grandfather were also painters. At the age of only 17, Josse became a member of the Antwerp painters' guild, the Saint Luke's Guild, and at the age of 37 he finally became dean and member of the board. He had ten children with his wife Elisabeth Gobyn, three of whom also pursued their father's profession. The most famous of the sons was Philippe de Momper, whom Josse trained.
Josse was highly esteemed among his artistic contemporaries, and he also trained numerous students in his studio, such as the painter Louis de Caullery. Around 1580 there are records of a trip to Italy by de Mompers, frescoes in the San Vitale church in Rome are said to be his work and Italian influences can be seen in his paintings. His style of painting landscapes is known as Flemish colouring, which includes a reddish-brown foreground, a yellow-green centre and a grey-blue painted rear part. These colour shades show a dominance of warm tonalities in the foreground and cold tonalities in the background. Josse worked several times with greats like Jan Brueghel dem Älteren, Jan Brueghel dem Jüngeren or the Peeter Snayers, which is known for battlefield scenes. It is said that de Momper painted the landscapes and the others the staffage. Among the landscape motifs were fantasy landscapes as well as realistic ones. The main motive of de Mompers are certainly the landscapes. In his earlier works he was strongly inspired by the Dutch Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder and the also Dutch Paul Bril. These works mainly show world landscapes in the mannerist style, later his subjects became more varied and he created hills, valleys and winter landscapes. However, the focus remains on mountain and lake landscapes. Financially, de Momper is said to have had a difficult time, but his prestige is said to have led him to the fact that even Isabella of Spain, Archduchess and Governor of the Spanish Netherlands, wrote a letter of apology for his debts and sent it to the Antwerp City Council.
However, De Momper managed the transition from mannerism to naturalism and thus became one of the most famous Dutch landscape painters. 500 of his works are still preserved today, of which only a few are signed and dated (this often led to misunderstandings and false attributions). The most famous paintings include "Mountain Landscape", "Winter Landscape", "Alpine Landscape", "Tower of Babel" and "Mountain Landscape with Travellers on a Path". The latter was created in collaboration with Jan Brueghel the Elder. Many of the collaborations with Brueghel today have a value of several tens of thousands of euros. His art can be found, among other places, in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, the Hamburger Kunsthalle and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
