Twee landschappen met Japanse monumenten 1832 - 1852

"Twee landschappen met Japanse monumenten" (Two Landscapes with Japanese Monuments) is a pair of landscape drawings by Dutch artist Henri Philippe Heidemans, dating from 1832–1852. The drawings depict two distinct views of Japanese landscapes, showcasing the artist’s fascination with the exotic and the beauty of nature. The detail of the trees and monuments suggests that Heidemans may have drawn these landscapes based on his travels or from Japanese prints which were becoming popular in Europe at the time. These drawings are part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection and highlight the increasing interest in Asian art and culture in Europe during the 19th century.
