Landskab med en gedehyrde 1637 - 1656

"Landskab med en gedehyrde" (Landscape with a Goat Herd), an etching created between 1637 and 1656 by Dutch artist Cornelis Matthieu, depicts a pastoral scene. The composition features a ruined tower standing amidst a mountainous landscape, with a shepherd and his flock of goats in the foreground. Matthieu's delicate etching style, evident in the fine lines and subtle shading, captures the serene beauty of the natural world. This etching, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Matthieu's mastery of landscape art, a genre that flourished during the Dutch Golden Age.
