Landskab med en rytter og en vandrer 1618 - 1686

"Landskab med en rytter og en vandrer" (Landscape with a Rider and a Wanderer) is a black and white etching by Gillis Neyts, a Flemish artist born in 1618 and died in 1686. The artwork, now in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a picturesque landscape scene with a rider and a wanderer in the foreground. The composition showcases a serene rural setting with a river, trees, and a church in the distance. The detailed and precise lines of the etching create a sense of depth and realism. The work is a testament to Neyts' mastery of the etching technique and his keen observation of nature. This landscape etching is a prime example of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish printmaking, popular for its depictions of idealized landscapes and rural life.
