Transcription of Inscription:

PAULUS BRILLIUS, ANTVERP. 
Castella et silvas, sata laeta, boúmque labores,
    Et montes pictor Brillius exhibuit.
Gratior iccirco sacro qui verticae. ²murice qui Tyrio. 

Translation of Inscription:

Paul Bril of Antwerp
Brill the painter showed fortresses and woods, joyous crops and the work of oxen, ³ and mountains.  Therefore he was the more pleasing to the one who is first on the holy summit (the Pontiff), and to the one who is illustrious ⁴  in Tyrian purple. ⁵

2. Presumably for “vertice”. primus, 
   Pontifici, et claris<¹Sic 
3. “sata laeta boumque laborum” is from Virgil, Georgics 1.325.
4. I am reading “clarus” for “claris”.
5. Purple is Tyrian from Homer onward, because it was made in Phoenicia.  The reference is presumably to members of some royal family.   “et … Tyrio” is scarcely comprehensible, even after my emendation.
