Landschap met half dode boom 1845 - 1892

"Landschap met half dode boom" (Landscape with Half Dead Tree) is an etching by Dutch artist Julius Jacobus van de Sande Bakhuyzen, created between 1845 and 1892. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a serene woodland scene with a prominent, half-dead tree dominating the composition. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines used to represent the various tree branches, foliage, and the light-dappled forest floor. The piece reflects Bakhuyzen’s interest in capturing the beauty of nature and the nuances of light and shadow.
