Heuvellandschap met drie schaapskoppen 1500 - 1551

"Heuvellandschap met drie schaapskoppen" (Hill Landscape with Three Sheep's Heads) is a red chalk drawing on paper by Domenico Beccafumi, a prominent Italian Renaissance artist. Executed between 1500 and 1551, the drawing is a study of landscape and animal forms. The delicate red chalk lines suggest a hilly landscape, with the sheep's heads depicted in a simplified yet expressive manner. This study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Beccafumi's skill in capturing the essence of nature through subtle strokes.
