"Gezicht op de grasperken en de berceau bij Huis Clingendael" (View of the lawns and berceau at Huis Clingendael) is a 17th/18th century etching by Daniël Stopendaal, showcasing the grounds of a Dutch manor house. Stopendaal, born in 1672 and known for his architectural prints, meticulously captures the formal gardens, featuring intricate pathways, manicured lawns, and a central berceau (a covered walkway). The composition highlights the symmetry and order of the Dutch Baroque garden style, a popular trend of the period. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle and landscape aesthetics of Dutch nobility.
