Gallery label | Matthijs Cock was a central figure in the development of landscape painting in the Netherlands. Influenced by the works of Titian and other Venetian artists, Cock introduced more realism into traditionally fantastical Netherlandish panoramas. He also developed innovative new types of landscape, including village scenes and seascapes like this one. |
