Landschap met begrafenisstoet 1739 - 1740

"Landschap met begrafenisstoet" is a landscape etching by Giuliano Giampiccoli created between 1739 and 1740. The etching portrays a procession of figures winding through a mountainous landscape towards a distant village. The artist captures a sense of somberness in the scene through the use of light and shadow. The procession is dwarfed by the vastness of the surrounding landscape, suggesting a theme of human mortality. The etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
