Een ruiter lopend voor een vermoeid paard in de bergen 1822

Johann Georg Schinz’s 1822 etching, "Een ruiter lopend voor een vermoeid paard in de bergen," depicts a solitary rider walking beside a tired horse. The scene takes place in a mountainous landscape with a distant castle visible in the background. This composition is characteristic of Romanticism, a 19th-century artistic movement that emphasized the power of nature and the importance of individual expression. The work is a testament to Schinz’s talent for depicting the beauty and drama of the natural world, highlighting the relationship between humans and their environment.
