context_section_description: Very few paintings of Joris Bredael have been preserved.  He is mainly known for his battle scenes and city views typically representing some popular celebration or feast.  An example of a city view is A sledge carousel in the courtyard of the Hofburg, Vienna, in the reign of Leopold I (Sold by Christie's on 24 April 1998 in London, lot 73).  It represents a sledge-ride at night in the squares and streets of Vienna, a favourite pastime of the Viennese during the winter months.
  A battle piece attributed to him is the Battle between Christian and Osman Soldiers (Sold by Lempertz on 28 September 2011 in Cologne, lot 8).  His family members, including his sons, often made similar battle pieces, which seem to have responded to a demand by the European nobility for depictions of their victories over the Turks.
