The Alternative Realities of the ‘World Landscape’

7 JULY | LONDON

The ‘World Landscape’ was a term coined to describe the first forays into panoramic vistas in which narrative subjects are often secondary to the fantastical background details. In this video, go on a breath-taking journey through some of these alternative realities as we explore highlights from our upcoming Old Masters Evening Sale (7 July | London). From a distinguished Spanish private collection, works by followers of artists including Joachim Patinir and Rogier van der Weyden exemplify the development of this phenomenon.
