Riviergezicht met boten 1837 - 1886

Maxime Lalanne's "Riviergezicht met boten" (River View with Boats), a delicate pencil drawing on paper, depicts a picturesque scene of a river with several boats sailing on the water. The artist was born in November 1827, and died in July 1886, making him a prominent Dutch artist of the 19th century. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, captures the quiet beauty of a river landscape, with a subtle use of shading to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This artwork is an example of Lalanne's mastery of the landscape genre and his skill in capturing the tranquility of the Dutch waterways.
