Berglandschap met industriële constructie c. 1885

This etching, *Berglandschap met industriële constructie* (c. 1885), by Belgian artist Karl Meunier (1864–1894), depicts a stark industrial landscape. The piece, created in the style of Realism, highlights the stark contrast between the natural world and the man-made. The prominent wooden structure, a symbol of industry, dominates the foreground, while a distant mountain range serves as a background. The composition, as well as the use of dark tones, emphasize the harsh realities of industrialization and its impact on the environment.
