Landschap met naaldbomen 1859

"Landschap met naaldbomen" (Landscape with Coniferous Trees) is a small-scale wood engraving created in 1859 by the French artist Polynice Auguste Viette. The artwork depicts a dense, dark forest, highlighting the silhouette of several coniferous trees against a lighter, sky-like background. Viette's use of black and white creates a strong contrast and a sense of depth in this landscape scene, a hallmark of the wood engraving technique. This artwork is a testament to Viette's skill in capturing the essence of nature through the art of printmaking.
