Landschap met een beladen ezel 1639 - 1700

"Landschap met een beladen ezel" (Landscape with a Loaded Donkey) is a drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Hackaert, dating to between 1639 and 1700. Created using pen and ink, the drawing showcases Hackaert's meticulous detail in portraying a mountainous landscape, likely inspired by the Italian Alps. The depiction of a winding path, a lone donkey, and the surrounding foliage highlights Hackaert's interest in the beauty of nature and the humble details of rural life. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Hackaert's masterful skill in capturing the essence of landscape art during the Dutch Golden Age.
