Kruiend ijs op de Rijn bij Arnhem, 1855 1855

"Kruiend ijs op de Rijn bij Arnhem" (1855) by Dutch artist Petrus Kiers, depicts a panoramic view of the Rhine River near Arnhem, Netherlands, during winter. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a frozen, yet dynamic scene, with broken ice floes floating along the river, creating a sense of movement. Kiers's detailed rendering of the landscape, from the distant cityscape to the foreground ice, highlights his skill in capturing the intricacies of nature. The work is a testament to the artist's fascination with the interplay of light, shadow, and natural elements.
