This landscape, Anton Mirou’s only extant painting of 1608, recalls the composition of one of 1603 in the Harrach collection, Schloss Rohrau, Austria.5 The buildings and terrain presumably are inspired by the countryside in the Frankenthal area. The following year – 1609 – Mirou made his first dated landscape drawing on site,6 abandoning the formulaic treatment of landscape evident here. The scene in the foreground is one of social cohesion with a hunter offering game to a seated villager, while another is acknowledged by a well-born horseman. Gregory Martin, 2022
