Landschap 1881 - 1927

"Landschap" (Landscape), a charcoal drawing by Johan Antonie de Jonge, is a powerful yet subtly rendered depiction of a wooded scene. Created between 1881 and 1927, the piece showcases de Jonge's mastery of charcoal, using light and dark strokes to evoke the dense foliage and the ethereal quality of light filtering through the trees. The composition, with its emphasis on vertical lines and the receding path, creates a sense of depth and tranquility, reflecting a favored theme in de Jonge's art: the serene beauty of nature.
