Geleerde geeft les 1670 - 1740

"Geleerde geeft les" is a 17th to 18th-century etching by the Dutch artist Gilliam van der Gouwen. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene of a scholar lecturing to a group of students. Van der Gouwen's meticulous etching style is evident in the detailed rendering of the figures, the architectural setting, and the subtle play of light and shadow. This etching is a fine example of the Dutch Baroque period's emphasis on realism and precision, capturing the intellectual atmosphere of a scholarly setting.
