Landscape with view of a town (one of three) 1600 - 1615

This small, oval-shaped, painted glass panel, attributed to Christoph Murer, showcases a charming landscape with a view of a town. Created between 1600-1615, it depicts a small town nestled amongst rolling hills, with lush greenery and a figure pushing a wheelbarrow in the foreground. The artwork’s delicate detail and muted palette contribute to a serene and picturesque scene, capturing the tranquility of a rural setting. This piece is considered a fine example of 17th century German art, showcasing the artist’s mastery of painted glass techniques. The work is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
