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.
