Rivierlandschap met wandelaars Possibly 1662 - 1833

"Rivierlandschap met wandelaars" (River Landscape with Walkers), a 17th-century etching by Jan van Almeloveen, is a striking example of Dutch landscape art. The artwork captures a serene, pastoral scene with a winding river flowing through a valley, framed by rolling hills and a rocky cliffside. The use of delicate lines and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, drawing the viewer into the tranquility of the landscape. The figures of walkers in the foreground add a sense of scale and human interaction, while the distant boats on the river hint at a bustling world beyond the idyllic setting. This small-scale etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies van Almeloveen's mastery of landscape depiction.
