About the piece
Created around 1620, this oil painting by Paul Bril showcases the dramatic interplay of light and shadow characteristic of the Flemish landscape tradition. The work depicts the mythological discovery of Callisto's pregnancy, set against a backdrop that shifts from a dark, intimate woodland grotto to a sweeping, luminous horizon under a vast sky.
