Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp
Jacob’s extant pictures show explicit connection to the region around Antwerp. Some of his views of Antwerp adhere to the "town-and-country" format, a kind of combination of a rural view with a city view. An example is his panoramic ' (1578, Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp) where the city appears only on the far-right distance. Another example is the ' (1587, Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp), which depicts a somewhat different aspect of country pastimes. Only in the distant horizon are the towers of Antwerp visible.
