Landschap met een kruis aan een dorpsweg 1621 - 1672

This etching by François Collignon, created between 1621 and 1672, depicts a rural landscape with a cross standing at a crossroads. The composition features a small village nestled in the background with a church spire, while a simple house sits prominently in the foreground, suggesting a peaceful countryside scene. The fine details of the architecture, figures, and foliage demonstrate Collignon's skill in capturing the nuances of the landscape. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the rural life and the religious practices of the 17th century.
