The early Flemish
landscape started around 1550 with the great art of Brueghel and the
engraver/publisher Hieronymus Cock. Soon the influence of Italy and the court of
Rudolf II in Prague inspired Roeland Savery and Paul and Mathias Bril to design
beautiful landscapes engraved by the Sadeler and other. It was only with the
decline of Antwerp that the best artists and the centre of art moved to more
Northern city's as Amsterdam to give a great impulse to the 17th century's Dutch
golden age.
