The Monterberg Seen from Kalkar 1663 - 1675

Lambert Doomer's "The Monterberg Seen from Kalkar" is a delicate and atmospheric landscape drawing executed in brown wash and heightened with white. The scene depicts a rolling, pastoral landscape with a village in the distance. The artist's use of light and shadow gives the artwork a sense of depth and realism. The composition is well-balanced, with the figures in the foreground drawing the viewer's eye to the distant tower and the landscape beyond. This detailed work, dating from 1663 to 1675, exemplifies Doomer's mastery of this genre and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
