Bergdorp met huizen en trappen 1613

Claes Jansz. Visscher's 1613 etching, "Bergdorp met huizen en trappen," depicts a small village nestled in a mountainous landscape. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Visscher's talent for capturing detail in the quaint buildings, winding pathways, and the lively figures going about their daily routines. This etching is characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with landscapes and everyday life. Its detailed depiction of a mountainous village speaks to the Dutch fascination with exploring new and distant lands.
