Landschap met vissers 1773

Victor Marie Picot's 1773 etching, *Landschap met vissers*, depicts a serene seascape with fishermen on a rocky shore. The circular composition draws the viewer's eye to the center, where the figures are engaged in their activity, their focus on the sea and the distant ships. The inclusion of a lighthouse suggests a sense of safety and guidance, further enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. The artist's attention to detail in rendering the natural elements, such as the windswept tree and the billowing clouds, adds a layer of realism to the scene, making it a compelling piece of 18th-century landscape art.
