Landschap met twee rustende figuren op de voorgrond 1697 - 1744

"Landschap met twee rustende figuren op de voorgrond" (Landscape with Two Resting Figures in the Foreground) is an etching by Dutch artist Isaac de Moucheron (1667-1744), created between 1697 and 1744. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a picturesque landscape with a winding river, imposing mountains, and a small village nestled among them. The foreground features two figures resting on rocky terrain, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. De Moucheron was known for his landscapes, often incorporating elements of Italianate idealism, a style popular in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The artwork's detailed rendering and atmospheric perspective contribute to a sense of serenity and tranquility.
