Even though there is no evidence for a trip to Italy, Moses van Uyttenbroeck´s oeuvre reflects the influence of Adam Elsheimer and Italianate painters such as Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1594-1667) and Bartholomeus Breenbergh (1598-1657), whose works also depict mythological or Arcadian motifs set in fanciful southern landscapes.
