Italiaans landschap met herders en vee rustend bij rots 1643 - 1666

This etching by Dutch artist Dancker Danckerts depicts a pastoral scene with herdsmen and cattle resting near a rocky outcrop. Created between 1643 and 1666, the artwork showcases Danckerts's skill in capturing the details of the natural world, from the intricate textures of the trees to the subtle shading of the rocks. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures and animals arranged in a pleasing manner. The work is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, a testament to Danckerts's contribution to the Golden Age of Dutch art.
