The artist responsible for this landscape—which depicts a baby abandoned on a hillside near a castle—painted just such a picture. The infant here may be Paris, who, according to ancient mythology, was the son of King Priam of Troy. A dream regarding his birth was interpreted as an evil portent, and he was exposed on Mount Ida—where he was either nursed by a bear or found by shepherds. The panel’s edges show traces of having been cut—it was once larger.
