Duinweg in de omgeving van Haarlem 1612 - 1652

This etching titled "Duinweg in de omgeving van Haarlem" was created by Dutch artist Claes Jansz. Visscher between 1612 and 1652. Depicting a rural Dutch landscape, the artwork showcases a characteristically Dutch landscape with a thatched-roof farmhouse, a winding dirt path, and a distant horizon. The scene suggests a sense of tranquility, with people relaxing or engaging in everyday activities. The intricate details of the landscape and figures showcase Visscher’s skill as a printmaker, contributing to the etching’s enduring appeal. This etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic and cultural landscape of the Dutch Golden Age.
