GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 727321
GtkRecentChooserWidget could offer an alternative iconview-like mode with flowbox

While a listview is quite nice for space-constrained apps to show the list of recently used files, it could be nice if apps that could opt-in (with the RecentChooser widget's API) to display it with a responsive/adaptive icon grid, displaying the thumbnails for the files above their filenames.
unlikely to happen unless a patch shows up
lets assume that is not going to happen
