This minutely observed landscape painted on copper relates to a signed drawing by Paul Bril in the Courtauld Gallery, London.1 Dated 1607 and inscribed Roma, the drawing was probably used by the artist at a later date as an aide mémoire for this painting. The inclusion of animals and figures, details of which are absent in the work on paper, suggests the painting was made slightly later.
