Wooded Landscape 1615 - 1620

Alexander Keirincx's "Wooded Landscape" (1615-1620) captures a serene scene of a wooded path, framed by thick foliage. The small scale of the painting, measuring only 12.5 cm in height and 17.5 cm in width, emphasizes the intimate and detailed nature of the scene. Two figures, barely visible in the dappled light, add a sense of human presence to the otherwise peaceful landscape. This work is a fine example of the 17th-century Dutch landscape painting style, where meticulous detail and a focus on the natural world were key elements.
