Portrait of Master of the Small Landscapes

Flemish, b. 1600

Master of the Small Landscapes is a Flemish Renaissance artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.

The Master of the Small Landscapes was a Flemish artist from the mid-16th century known for his landscape drawings. The name of this unidentified artist is derived from a series of 44 prints of landscapes that were created after the artist’s drawings, some of which have been preserved. Together with the work of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the drawings of the Master played an important role in the evolution of Northern Renaissance landscape art from the world landscape into an independent genre.
