"Landscape with Leto and Peasants of Lykia" is a notable work by Flemish painter Gillis van Coninxloo (1544–1607), who is recognized as a pivotal figure in the development of Northern Mannerist landscape painting. This painting, which dates from the late 16th or early 17th century, is a representation of the mythological story of Leto (or Latona), the mother of Apollo and Artemis, from Ovid's Metamorphoses. In the narrative, Leto, being pursued by the jealous goddess Hera, seeks water to quench her thirst but is denied by the peasants of Lycia, who muddy the stream to prevent her from drinking. In retaliation, Leto turns them into frogs.

Van Coninxloo's depiction of this mythological event is set within a lush and intricate landscape, a hallmark of his style that reflects the transition from the worldlier landscapes of earlier Flemish painters to a more fantastical and complex approach. The painting is characterized by its deep, wooded scenes and the use of strong verticals that guide the viewer's eye through the composition. The figures of Leto and the peasants are typically small and integrated into the broader setting, emphasizing the dominance of nature and the landscape genre that van Coninxloo helped to advance.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its influence on the landscape genre in Northern Europe. Van Coninxloo's landscapes, with their detailed rendering of trees, foliage, and atmospheric effects, would go on to inspire a generation of artists, including those of the Dutch Golden Age. "Landscape with Leto and Peasants of Lykia" exemplifies the artist's mature style, where the narrative element of the painting is harmoniously blended with the natural environment, creating a scene that is both a visual feast and a storytelling medium.

As with many works of its time, the current location of the original painting, its provenance, and history of ownership may not be well-documented, and the painting's influence is often assessed through its contribution to the artist's oeuvre and the broader landscape tradition. This work remains an important piece for understanding the evolution of landscape painting in the context of Northern Renaissance art.
