Rivierlandschap met toren en hengelaar 1820

This drawing, *Rivierlandschap met toren en hengelaar* (River Landscape with Tower and Angler) was created by Dutch artist Barend Cornelis Koekkoek in 1820. The piece is a classic example of Romanticism in Dutch art. The painting depicts a tranquil scene with a small group of figures fishing by the edge of a river, with the ruins of a tower in the distance. The soft, hazy atmosphere of the landscape reflects the Romantic ideal of nature, with the artist's careful attention to detail creating a sense of peace and serenity. It is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
