Rotsblokken en struiken op de Sint Pietersberg c. 1859

"Rotsblokken en struiken op de Sint Pietersberg" is an etching by Alexander Schaepkens, dated circa 1859. This small etching, measuring 85 mm by 104 mm, depicts a rocky landscape with a large boulder in the foreground, partially obscured by foliage. The inscription on the boulder adds a historical layer to the artwork, hinting at a specific location and perhaps referencing a particular event. The overall aesthetic is typical of Schaepkens' work, characterized by its detailed rendering of natural elements and meticulous attention to light and shadow. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and character of the Dutch landscape.
