About this work
Paulus van Vianen possessed the remarkable ability to translate his own delicately rendered landscape drawings into extraordinarily detailed chasing in silver. For example, this cottage and rickety bridge – possibly somewhere near Salzburg – appears on a silver plaquette of 1607 in the Rijksmuseum. That relief is on view in Gallery 2.3.
