The Kunsthistoriches Museum in Vienna have published the video above detailing the recent conservation and research into their large scale The Great Landscape with a Tempest by Peter Paul Rubens. The video details the changes the artist made to the landscape over time, including adding the figures and story towards the end of the picture's development.

Fortunately, all the research compiled during this project has been distilled into a rather impressive book available in both German and English.
