Visfuik aan een begroeide waterkant 1830 - 1878

"Visfuik aan een begroeide waterkant" (Fishing Net on a Wooded Waterside) is a detailed etching by Johannes Pieter van Wisselingh, a prominent Dutch artist who specialized in landscape and nature scenes. Created between 1830 and 1878, the work is a testament to van Wisselingh's meticulous craftsmanship and his ability to capture the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside. The etching depicts a fishing net, partially submerged in a tranquil body of water, framed by lush vegetation. The artist's use of delicate lines and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, immersing viewers in the serene atmosphere of the scene. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies van Wisselingh's contribution to the Dutch Romantic tradition of landscape art.
