This painting offers a magnificent panoramic view of the countryside of Flemish Brabant surrounding Het Steen, Rubens's manor house and estate, situated between Brussels and Antwerp. Here he spent his summers in semi-retirement, from 1636 until his death in 1640. According to his nephew Philip Rubens, he devoted his time to observing and painting the landscape at different times of day. This painting can be found in the Wallace Collection’s Great Gallery.
