Albrecht Altdorfer produced the very first pure landscapes in the history of European art.
[3][4][5] The other three, in Berlin, Erlangen, and Rotterdam, all just over 20 × 13 cm, were painted in watercolour and gouache on paper.
[9][10] Tokyo Fuji Art Museum owns an unsigned 53.1 × 45.1 cm oil-on-panel painting of a mountain range which it also attributes to Altdorfer.
[12] Of particular interest is a group of ten delicately hand-coloured impressions of the etchings (8 in Albertina, 1 in Veste Coburg, and 1 in the British Museum).
