Les Angles I 1912 - 1913

"Les Angles I" is a woodcut print by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout, created between 1912 and 1913. The artwork depicts a village nestled in a mountain valley, with the houses and surrounding landscape rendered in a simplified, geometric style characteristic of Schelfhout's work. The artist's use of bold lines and contrasting shades of black and white emphasizes the architectural forms and the dramatic topography of the scene, creating a strong sense of depth and volume. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Schelfhout's exploration of landscape and urban design through the lens of woodcut printing.
