## Commentary

Mountain Scene c. 1599 Oil on copper, 11,8 x 17,5 cm Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, Cologne The brothers Matthäus and Paul Bril developed the art of depicting landscape in terms of zones, established by colour and by compositional structure, on miniature, finely painted copper tablets. Such motifs as cliffs, waterfalls, bridges, chapels and paths are held together on the diagonal and rendered convincing by inserted figures of wanderers, riders and hunters.
