Berglandschap met stad 1593 - 1620

This etching by Johann Sadeler I, created between 1593 and 1620, showcases a picturesque landscape with a city in the distance. The artwork, titled "Berglandschap met stad," depicts a mountainous terrain with a winding pathway leading towards a fortified city. The artist's meticulous detail is evident in the depiction of the city's architecture, the flowing river, and the lush foliage. This piece exemplifies the Renaissance era's fascination with landscape and the use of etching as a technique for capturing intricate details. The "Berglandschap met stad" etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Sadeler I's skill as a printmaker and a celebration of the beauty of the natural world.
