Landschaft mit Gebäuden am Wasser 1744

"Landschaft mit Gebäuden am Wasser" is a 1744 drawing by Swiss artist Johann Ludwig Aberli. Now housed at the Städel Museum, the artwork depicts a picturesque landscape with buildings on the edge of a body of water. Aberli, known for his meticulous landscapes, captures the scene with a delicate touch, using subtle shading to create depth and detail in the foliage and buildings. His focus on the natural world, typical of the 18th-century artistic movement, offers a glimpse into the idyllic rural life of the time.
