"An Extensive Estuary Landscape with the Story of Mercury and Herse" by Tobias Verhaecht

This was another piece found in the same gallery as the Rembrandt. This one in particular captured me because of its exquisite details and ability to pop out in the room with such little color. The horizon looks like it could extend infinitely, while the landscape features makes a bold presence in the scene.
I was viewing this piece with an elderly couple who mentioned that the artist, Tobias Verhaecht was very well known for the techniques in drawing landscapes of mythical lands.
