- Physical Description
- This print offers an expansive vista over a river valley bordered by high mountains in the distance. In the foreground a peasant sits on the ground hammering the blade of his scythe as another man leans against a tree and gazes into the valley. Boats, towns, and villages dot the landscape.
- Subject Matter
- This print was made by Joannes and Lucas van Doetecum after drawings made by Pieter Breugel the Elder on a trip through the Alps. The artists exploit dramatic shifts in scale between the foreground figures in the lower right corner and the valley far beneath them to create a powerful impression of depth and distance.
