Dorpskerk in de avond, bij een meer 1865 - 1902

Emile de Baré’s etching "Dorpskerk in de avond, bij een meer" (Village Church in the Evening, by a Lake) depicts a serene landscape scene, likely inspired by the Dutch countryside. The etching features a church silhouetted against a pale sky, its spire reaching toward a luminous glow in the distance. The foreground showcases a tranquil lake reflecting the sky and the church, and the soft textures of the grass and water contribute to the tranquil ambiance. De Baré was a renowned Dutch artist known for his masterful use of light and shadow in his landscape etchings. This particular work, created between 1865 and 1902, exemplifies his artistic mastery, capturing the essence of a peaceful evening scene in a subtle and contemplative way.
