Twee landschappen before 1815

"Twee landschappen" (Two Landscapes) is a pair of etchings by the Dutch artist Hermanus van Brussel, created before his death in 1815. These etchings showcase van Brussel's mastery of depicting rural landscapes, capturing the beauty of nature with meticulous detail. The top etching shows a small, rustic cottage nestled amongst trees, with a figure standing in the doorway. The bottom etching depicts a winding path leading through a grove of trees, with two figures and a donkey in the distance. These intimate landscapes, reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age, offer a glimpse into the tranquil beauty of the countryside.
