Working at a tremendous pace for the collectors' market, Paul Bril began to experiment with an enlarged format. This gave the paintings he executed around 1595 a lower viewpoint, which framed and broadened the landscape in an imposing fashion. His Landscape with a Mythological Scene, in which Narcissus can be identified, is an example of Bril's experiments with placing small scenes - rural, religious or mythological - in a daringly lowered foreground.
