About the piece

Painted in 1608 by Roelant Savery, this work captures the awe-inspiring scale of a mountainous wilderness. Small figures in the foreground provide a human element to the otherwise untamed landscape, rendered with the artist's characteristic attention to geological texture and atmospheric light.
