An Extensive Landscape 

This landscape painting by Flemish artist Paul Bril, known for his mastery of depicting idealized natural scenes, presents a sprawling vista of rolling hills, lush vegetation, and a meandering stream. The composition, characterized by its expansive depth and detailed portrayal of the countryside, embodies the classic ideals of 17th-century landscape painting. Figures, including farmers tending to their livestock and travelers on horseback, are subtly integrated into the scene, adding a sense of human activity and scale to the vastness of the landscape. This painting, while undated, reflects Bril's signature style of depicting nature with a meticulous attention to detail and a balanced composition.
