Landschap met schapen bij zonsondergang 1903 - 1938

"Landschap met schapen bij zonsondergang," a 1903 etching by Dutch artist Alphonse Stengelin, depicts a serene landscape with a flock of sheep grazing in a field at sunset. The composition is dominated by two large trees, whose branches frame the sun as it dips below the horizon. The soft, muted colors and detailed lines create a sense of tranquility and peace. Stengelin was known for his atmospheric landscapes, often capturing the subtle beauty of nature in a contemplative and poetic manner. His work is notable for its sensitive handling of light and shadow, which he used to create depth and texture in his etchings. This artwork is a beautiful example of Stengelin's skill as a printmaker, demonstrating his mastery of the medium and his ability to evoke emotion through his depictions of nature.
