Landscape in 16th century art was not treated realistically in the sense that it was a portrayal of actual views. Compositions were developed using sketches from nature. In his view of Huy, Lucas van Valkenborch offers a detailed depiction of the town and its surroundings, but then calls upon his imagination in order to create a sense of harmony between the elements of the composition, the detail and the grey tones.
