This dramatic mountainous landscape was executed during Savery's decade-long sojourn in Prague working at the court of Emperor Rudolf II. In 1606-07, Rudolf sent Savery on an expedition to the Tyrol to record the "curious marvels of nature." There he made drawings of mountains, fantastic rock formations, waterfalls and a variety of flora and fauna. The drawings from this adventure served as inspiration for his subsequent landscape paintings.
