Landschap met vissers 1670 - 1729

"Landschap met vissers" (Landscape with fishermen) is an etching by Pieter Rijsbraeck, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and rural scenes. The etching, dating back to the late 17th or early 18th century, depicts a serene landscape with a winding river, rolling hills, and a small village in the distance. The foreground focuses on two fishermen, one wading in the stream and the other sitting on a rock. The detailed rendering of trees and foliage adds depth and realism to the composition, showcasing Rijsbraeck's mastery of etching techniques. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's appreciation for landscapes and the simple beauty of everyday life.
