Mountainous River Landscape with Travelers

Mountainous River Landscape with Travelers is an early-17th-century oil painting on panel by Flemish painter Tobias Verhaecht.

His painting adhered to the Weltlandschaft tradition started by Joachim Patinir and Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

This was characterized by imaginary panoramic landscape seen from an elevated viewpoint, mountains and lowlands, water, and often buildings.

Characteristic of Weltlandschaft were also attention to detail and staffage figures dwarfed by their fantastical surroundings.

In his youth, Verhaecht reportedly traveled to Italy, where Francesco I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany became his patron in Florence.
