Bergachtig landschap met kasteel 1639 - 1700

Jan Hackaert's "Bergachtig landschap met kasteel" (Mountainous landscape with a castle), is a delicate wash drawing showcasing his mastery of landscape painting. Dated between 1639 and 1700, the artwork depicts a picturesque scene of a winding path leading towards a castle nestled in the foothills of a mountain range. The soft, ethereal tones create a sense of calm and serenity, highlighting the beauty of the natural world. This drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Hackaert's skill in capturing the essence of the Dutch Golden Age landscape.
