Corte II 1926

"Corte II" (1926) is a black and white print by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout (1881-1943). The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a quaint Italian town nestled on a mountainside. A winding road leads to the town, passing over a stone bridge, while a tree frames the scene. The print's precise details and use of light and shadow contribute to a sense of depth and atmosphere. Schelfhout's work is notable for its focus on architecture and urban landscapes, particularly those he encountered during his travels to Italy.
