Landschap met vogelvangers 1650 - 1695

"Landschap met vogelvangers," an etching by Nicolas Perelle (1631-1695), depicts a serene landscape with a river and a village nestled among rolling hills. The scene is framed by lush foliage, giving it a sense of depth and intimacy. The detail of the bird catchers adds a touch of realism to this idyllic landscape, which is typical of Perelle's style. This print, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artistic sensibility of the 17th century and offers a glimpse into the idealized natural world as envisioned by artists of the time.
