Polderlandschap 1886

"Polderlandschap" is an etching by Dutch artist Elias Stark, created in 1886. The artwork depicts a peaceful Dutch landscape, featuring a canal winding through a field of reeds. A single tree stands tall at the edge of the water, while a church spire rises in the distance, symbolizing the traditional rural life of the Netherlands. Stark's masterful use of lines creates a sense of depth and serenity, capturing the essence of the polder landscape. The etching is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcasing Stark's contribution to Dutch landscape art.
