Ecloga V 1649

"Ecloga V", a 1649 etching by German artist Christian Rothgiesser, depicts a picturesque landscape scene. The composition showcases a winding path through a verdant forest, with two figures in the foreground engaged in conversation. The detail of the foliage and the distant view of a village contribute to the idyllic setting. The etching is a testament to Rothgiesser's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the beauty of the natural world. This work is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
