The Two Men on the Hill 1621 - 1675

"The Two Men on the Hill" is an etching by the Dutch artist Allart van Everdingen, created between 1621 and 1675. The print depicts two figures standing on a hilltop overlooking a valley with a river winding through it. The scene is dominated by a large, central pine tree, while other trees and foliage frame the composition. The etching's detailed depiction of nature, with its emphasis on light and shadow, is characteristic of Everdingen's style, demonstrating his ability to capture the dramatic beauty of landscapes. The work is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
