Early 17th century
the German landscape art was still strongly influenced by the Flemish tradition
from the artist at the court of Rudolf II of Prague, as we see in the work of
Isaac Major who learned from the Sadelers. Mattheus Merian was a great Swiss
artist who's work is closer to the Dutch tradition with Visscher and Van de
Velde.
Jonas Umbach is a special case with fine etching in the pure Italian style.
