About the piece

Attributed to a follower of Jan Brueghel the Elder, this imaginary landscape is a classic example of the Flemish 'world landscape' tradition. The composition uses dark foreground elements to create a dramatic sense of depth, leading the eye through a dense wood toward a misty, blue-toned horizon where a castle sits beside a quiet river.
