Nanban screens didn't follow western pictorial composition but were like yamato-e, arranging small detailed 'scenarios'; depictions of buildings, utensils and people over the area of the screen and were probably painted by high-ranking artists such as the Kano school judging by the quality of the surviving screens.
Nanban art was a style of art which spread outside Nagasaki being copied by lower ranking artists until it faded in the 1650's, thus the later dated screens seem stiffer and less interesting copies of the earlier models.
