Landskab med en mand og en hund 1618 - 1686

Gillis Neyts’ etching, "Landskab med en mand og en hund," depicts a serene landscape scene with a man and his dog walking along a path through a grove of trees. Created in the 17th century, the work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with natural detail and the beauty of everyday life. Neyts’ masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer's eye into the heart of the landscape, where light filters through the leaves of the trees and casts shadows upon the path. The small figures add a human touch to the scene, enhancing its tranquil atmosphere. The etching is now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
