Landschap met kerk en koets c. 1643

"Landschap met kerk en koets" (Landscape with Church and Carriage) is an etching by François Collignon, a Dutch artist born in 1605 and who died in 1687. This small artwork, measuring only 107 mm high and 205 mm wide, depicts a church with a tall spire in a rural setting. In the foreground, a carriage pulled by horses passes by a group of figures on horseback. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of Collignon's work, known for its detailed depictions of landscapes and architectural structures. The artwork's simple composition and delicate lines create a sense of tranquility and beauty, highlighting the serene natural environment surrounding the church.
