Elias Stark, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes, created this etching titled "Grote Kerk te Vreeland" in 1887. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a church with a tall spire and a surrounding village. Stark's meticulous detail and skillful use of light and shadow contribute to the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. "Grote Kerk te Vreeland" offers a glimpse into the rural Dutch life of the late 19th century.
