Virgin and Child in a Landscape, 1520s, by Albert Cornelis et al

Behind the melancholic Madonna and the lively Christ child in this Renaissance painting is a fantasy version of the city of Bruges in a blue landscape that bears no resemblance to the real atmosphere of the Flemish city. The towers of the city are a reflection of the real towers of Bruges, the medieval industrial and commercial powerhouse where Albert Cornelis worked. But he, or one of his assistants, has transformed Bruges into a twinkling, dreamlike place by a wide, calm sea inlet, towered over by towering mountains: an imaginative and fascinating landscape inspired by the sci-fi utopias of Hieronymus Bosch, as well as the surreal landscapes of Joachim Patinier. It may even owe a debt to the melting blue mountains and seas in Leonardo da Vinci's altarpieces, as the painting was apparently made for the Italian market and bears the name of the original Italian owner on the back. This is a lovely and little-known example of the way 16th-century artists could combine religious imagery with romantic and whimsical musings in their freely painted landscapes.
