Landscape with Fishermen 1580 - 1665

"Landscape with Fishermen" is a pen and wash drawing by Maerten de Cock, a prominent Flemish artist known for his landscapes. Created between 1580 and 1665, the drawing showcases a picturesque scene of a river winding through a hilly landscape. De Cock's meticulous detail is evident in the depiction of the winding river, the rocky terrain, and the small boats dotting the water. This drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrates De Cock's mastery of composition and his ability to capture the tranquility of the natural world.
