Ravijn van de berg Kuh-e Pir Zan in Iran 1843 - 1854

Eugène Flandin's "Ravijn van de berg Kuh-e Pir Zan in Iran" is a lithographic print depicting a dramatic mountain ravine. Created between 1843-1854, the work showcases Flandin's talent for capturing the grandeur of natural landscapes. The scene, likely inspired by his travels through Persia, features a narrow gorge with towering rock formations. The light and shadow play emphasizes the sheer scale of the mountains, while the small figures of riders add a sense of human scale to the vastness of the natural world. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a captivating glimpse into the rugged beauty of Iran's mountainous landscape.
