Landscape 1590 - 1636

This landscape drawing by Isaak Major, dated between 1590 and 1636, depicts a serene woodland scene. The artist, known for his detailed depictions of nature, utilizes blue wash to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The composition features a winding path leading to a stone structure partially obscured by foliage, a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age's landscape art. The delicate lines and subtle washes emphasize the tranquility of the scene, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of the natural world. Now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this drawing is a testament to Major's skill in capturing the essence of a peaceful landscape.
