Riverscape with a Shepherd on a Hill

1590
Paul Bril (Flemish, 1554–1626)
Although Pieter Bruegel the Elder's lasting legacy in Netherlandish art is reflected in the towering mountains of this imaginary landscape by Paul Bril, its decorative, undulating line is entirely characteristic of stylized Mannerist engravings of the late sixteenth century.
