De Rots 1903 - 1932

"De Rots" (The Rock) is an etching by Dutch artist Adriaan J. van 't Hoff, created between 1903 and 1932. The print depicts a dramatic, imposing rock formation rising up against a stormy sky. The artist used fine lines to create a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the ruggedness of the landscape. The work is a powerful example of van 't Hoff's mastery of etching, a technique that allows for a wide range of tonal values. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the etching showcases van 't Hoff's interest in capturing the raw power of nature.
