Landschap met bomen bij avond 1873 - 1933

This is a print called "Landschap met bomen bij avond" or "Landscape with trees at evening", made by Hermannus Adrianus van Oosterzee. The whole thing shimmers, as light and dark dance together. It's like Oosterzee wasn't just depicting a landscape, but also the very act of seeing, of noticing how light shapes the world. Check out the lower third: those scribbled lines that suggest foliage and water. It’s not about precision, but about capturing the essence of a place, the feeling of being there as evening approaches. It puts me in mind of Whistler, both artists finding something new in the tonal possibilities of landscape. This piece invites us to slow down, to look closely, and to find beauty in the subtle shifts and changes that surround us every day. Art isn’t just about making something pretty; it's about noticing.
