Bomen in landschap met opkomende maan 1876 - 1910

This etching, created between 1876 and 1910 by Dutch artist Alphonse Stengelin, depicts a serene landscape dominated by a large tree in the foreground. The moon, a bright circle in the dusky sky, casts long shadows across the field, emphasizing the sense of stillness and quietude. The artwork, known as "Bomen in landschap met opkomende maan" (Trees in a Landscape with a Rising Moon), exemplifies Stengelin's mastery of etching, a technique that uses acid to create intricate lines and textures. The use of tonal values and subtle details creates a realistic and atmospheric depiction of the scene. This work, typical of Stengelin's oeuvre, showcases his keen eye for capturing the beauty of nature in its most intimate moments.
