Landschap met gezicht op het eiland Wight 1643

Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Czech-born artist, created this etching titled “Landschap met gezicht op het eiland Wight" in 1643. This detailed landscape depicts the Isle of Wight, a British island located off the south coast of England. The print shows a coastal panorama with a town in the distance, hills in the background, and two figures on horseback in the foreground. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a remarkable example of Hollar's skill in capturing natural detail and providing a glimpse into the landscape of 17th-century England.
