Bos in Bergen 1896 - 1944

"Bos in Bergen" is a black and white etching by Dutch artist Emilius Wilhelmus Dehé, created between 1896 and 1944. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, portrays a large, gnarled tree with intricate branches dominating the foreground. The dense, hatched lines of the etching create a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the tree's imposing presence against a backdrop of smaller trees and a hint of an open field. Dehé's work often focused on landscape motifs, and this print exemplifies his masterful handling of light and shadow, characteristic of his printmaking style.
