The Pool by the Hills 1651

"The Pool by the Hills" is a landscape painting created in 1651 by Cornelis Vroom, a Dutch Golden Age painter. The artwork, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, depicts a serene woodland scene with a pool of water nestled amongst the hills. Vroom's signature attention to detail and realistic portrayal of nature are evident in the painting, with meticulously rendered trees, foliage, and the sky above. The muted tones and soft light create a tranquil atmosphere, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and serenity of the natural world.
