Part of the Via Flaminia 1639 - 1640

"Part of the Via Flaminia" is an etching by Dutch artist Bartholomeus Breenbergh, created between 1639-1640. The etching showcases Breenbergh's talent for capturing the serene beauty of a landscape, using detailed strokes to depict a shaded path leading through a grove of trees. The artwork evokes the tranquility of the Roman countryside with the Via Flaminia, a Roman road, stretching into the distance. The figures in the foreground add a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. Breenbergh's mastery of light and shadow further enhances the depth and realism of the composition, making this etching a fine example of Dutch landscape art of the 17th century.
