Landschap met rivier en kasteel op heuvel 1670 - 1711

"Landschap met rivier en kasteel op heuvel" (Landscape with River and Castle on a Hill) is an etching by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk (1660-1711). Created between 1670 and 1711, this detailed view of a Dutch landscape showcases Schenk's skill in capturing the intricate details of nature and architecture. The composition features a winding river that flows through a lush valley, leading the eye towards a prominent castle perched on a hill. The scene is depicted from a bird's eye perspective, providing a wide and comprehensive view of the landscape. Small boats navigate the river, adding a sense of activity and scale to the vast panorama. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the Dutch artistic tradition of landscape depiction.
