2. Ealvator Rosa, Landscape with St. Anthony and
St. PłuJ, London, Denis Mahoń coli. (after L. Salcrno)

in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne,1 painted in 1752, i.e. two years earlier. The resem-
blance of thesc works is striking: the way of painting trees, rocks and figures is almost identicał
here. Both compositions were undoubtedly inspired by landscapes by Salvator Rosa. The analogy
is particularly provided by tbe paintings from Denis Mahoń colleetion in London,5 which are
cspecially close in mood, in space composition and in the details (fig. 2).

Two further paintings (fig. 3 and 4), meant to be pendants, count among particularly inte-
resting items in the Warsaw colleetion.8 These, too, hive been misbranded ur.til reccntly. The
author had not been precised, the paintings, howeyer, were attributed to the Dutch school.

Apparently it was not far from right, as the paintings clearly showed the style of Cornelis
Poelenburgh and his followers: Dirck van der Lisse and Abraham van Cuylenburgh. It had
been found out from other sources that Dietrich had done a whole series of paintings in the
Poelenburgh manner, many of which had been at one timc part of Christian Louis II of Mecklem-
burgh gailery.7 This time it is the print by Adrian Zing The Shepherds (fig. 5) which allows to
tracę the author of the paintings. Tbe print after the Dietrich's composition had been done,
