Panoramic Mountainous Estuary Landscape, with Christ and the Woman of Canaan 1515 - 1575

Lucas Gassel's "Panoramic Mountainous Estuary Landscape, with Christ and the Woman of Canaan" (1515-1575) is a detailed pen and ink drawing that showcases a breathtaking view of a mountainous estuary. The artwork features a panoramic landscape with a winding river, a bustling town, and a prominent mountain peak, creating a sense of depth and scale. The drawing is a fine example of 16th century Northern European landscape art, particularly in the depiction of minute details and the masterful use of line. It is believed that the artist combined the biblical story of Christ healing the Canaanite Woman with the beauty of a naturalistic setting, reflecting a popular theme in Renaissance art.
