Landschap met twee putti 1605 - 1673

"Landschap met twee putti" (Landscape with Two Putti) is a 17th-century etching by Lucas van Uden, a Dutch artist renowned for his landscapes. This detailed engraving depicts a picturesque countryside scene with a winding path leading towards a small chapel nestled amongst rolling hills. The composition is balanced by the trees on the right and the sun in the sky, creating a harmonious and tranquil atmosphere. Van Uden's meticulous rendering of the natural world and the playful figures of the putti, or cherubs, adds a touch of whimsy to this classic landscape. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the flourishing of landscape art in 17th-century Netherlands.
