Landsby i en dal 1625 - 1674

"Landsby i en dal" (Village in a Valley) is an etching by Jan Ruyscher, a Dutch artist active in the 17th century. The etching depicts a panoramic view of a village nestled within a valley, with a distant town sprawling out in the background. The scene is rendered in delicate detail, showcasing the artist's keen eye for observation. Ruyscher's use of light and shade gives depth and dimension to the landscape, creating a sense of realism. The etching, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, is a fine example of the Dutch Golden Age landscape tradition, capturing the beauty and tranquility of the natural world.
