Notes This is the earliest known work of Pieter Stevens II. It is of extremely fine execution and was possibly the work he made to support his application to work at the Imperial court. Through the innovative feature of the complete absence of a view into the distance this painting heralds the idyllic close-up landscape of the 17th century. His contemporaries would probably have been more aware of the uncanniness of the sealed off, swampy valley with its ruinous castle, decaying inn and invalid wayfarers. They would have understood these details as symbols of the wickedness of the world, the pride of the powerful and the licentiousness of the lowly who are punished.
