Arcadisch landschap met vier badende vrouwen 1656 - 1726

This engraving, "Arcadisch landschap met vier badende vrouwen," by Johannes Glauber, depicts a pastoral scene with four women bathing in a river. The landscape is idyllic with lush trees, rolling hills, and a small waterfall. Created between 1656 and 1726, the print uses a delicate line style to capture the serene atmosphere of the scene. Glauber, a Dutch artist known for his landscape paintings, uses this piece to showcase a serene and idyllic vision of nature, consistent with the artistic sensibilities of the Dutch Golden Age. The piece is a fine example of the "Arcadian" genre, which idealized rural life and the beauty of nature.
