Panoramic Landscape with Ruins, a City and Travellers
Summary
This etching is one of the most refined landscape prints of the 16th century, and is therefore attributed to Lambert Suavius. This printmaker from Liège is known for his virtuoso engravings (an example is displayed on the wall at the right). The similarities, for example in the meticulous rendering of the architecture and clouds, make it plausible that this print was also made by him.
