Detail ; This drawing, which dramatically evokes the grandeur of the Alpine landscape, was until recently given to Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca. 1525-1569) and considered the most accomplished of a group of mountain landscapes thought to have been executed by him after a sojourn through the Alps. In 1991 Hans Mielke argued that the drawing should be removed from Bruegel's oeuvre because its watermark has been associated with papers not documented before the mid-1580s (Hans Mielke, 'Pieter Bruegel.,' "Jahrbuch der Berliner Museen", n.s., 33 [1991], pp. 129-34). Most recently Nadine Orenstein (2001), finding neither Jacob Savery a satisfactory suggestion, has proposed an anonymous artist she calls the Master of the Mountain Landscapes as the author of the Morgan drawing.
