Nachtlandschap met boerderij en schaatsers 1761 - 1784

Johannes Janson’s “Nachtlandschap met boerderij en schaatsers” (1761-1784) depicts a Dutch countryside scene, with a farmhouse and figures ice skating in the foreground. The dramatic sky, filled with swirling clouds, adds a sense of movement to the otherwise quiet landscape. The etching showcases Janson’s skill in capturing the details of the scene, from the textured snow to the individual figures. The work is a fine example of Dutch landscape art, capturing the beauty of the natural world in a seemingly simple yet elegant way. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
