Based on the painting, maes most likely held which of the following views?

On a crisp autumn morning, the rising sun casts a cool light on the manor house. Shadows are long and there’s a suggestion of dew on the grass of the meadows. The windows of the manor house and the stream meandering past it twinkle, and the few feathery clouds are tinged with gold. We are high up, so the view is spread before us, allowing us to pick out each incident within the whole: the man shooting partridges, the couple on their way to market and the lord and lady of the manor, the nearby nursemaid cradling their baby.

Peter Paul Rubens worked as a diplomat as well as an artist, and had been ennobled both in Spain by Philip IV and in England by Charles I. His status and wealth enabled him to purchase the manor of Het Steen, near Malines (now known as Mechelen), in 1635. In this landscape painting he celebrates what he treasured most: his own success, perhaps, but also the prosperity and peace of Flanders, his native land.

Abstract

Rubens's Michielsen Triptych draws on the Netherlandish past not simply in its format but also in its structuring of the spaces of the triptych. Like many Early Netherlandish triptychs, Rubens's work creates ambiguous relations between center and wings, establishing "miraculous thresholds" between zones that appear to be simultaneously connected and disconnected. The miraculous thresholds of Rubens's triptych negotiate relations between the donors and God and between the meanings inhering in Christ's life and metaphysical status—even as they convey Rubens's awareness of the connection between the triptych's traditions and the early modern interrogation of the spaces between art and reality.
