A Mountainous Landscape with a Waterfall
Kerstiaen de Keuninck Flemish
De Keuninck continued the Flemish tradition of imaginary mountain scenery that descended from Joachim Patinir. This large panoramic landscape view, dominated by fantastic mountains and rock formations, is an early work by the artist. It employs contrasting pictorial effects—such as heavy passages of opaque paint set off against areas sketched in a very thin medium—and bold motifs like the watery spray formed by flicking the brush against the panel.
