Berglandschap met wandelaars op een weg 1613 - 1695

"Berglandschap met wandelaars op een weg" (Landscape with Hikers on a Road), created between 1613 and 1695, is an etching by Nicolas Perelle (1631-1695). The circular composition showcases Perelle's mastery of landscape depiction, with detailed trees, a winding path, and a distant mountain range. The light sky with birds in flight adds a sense of depth and movement to the scene, while the small figures of hikers on the path ground the work in the human experience of nature. This etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popular genre of landscape art in the 17th century.
