Gezicht in de tuinen van de buitenplaats Zandbergen 1754 - 1820

Hermanus Numan's "Gezicht in de tuinen van de buitenplaats Zandbergen" (1754-1820) is a serene landscape watercolor painting that captures the beauty of a formal garden. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a picturesque view of a Dutch estate, with trees lining a winding path and figures leisurely strolling through the grounds. The detailed brushstrokes and soft colors create a sense of tranquility and evoke the ambiance of a peaceful afternoon in the gardens. Numan's work exemplifies the popularity of landscape painting in the 18th century, highlighting the beauty of nature and the idealized leisure of the upper classes.
