Gezicht op Rhenen 1630 - 1691

"Gezicht op Rhenen" is a landscape drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Aelbert Cuyp, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. Created between 1630 and 1691, the artwork features a panoramic view of the town of Rhenen, situated along the banks of a river. Cuyp's signature "A. Cuyp" appears in the upper left corner of the drawing. The subtle use of brown and gray tones, particularly visible in the rolling hills and tranquil water, exemplifies Cuyp's skilled depiction of the Dutch landscape. This drawing highlights Cuyp's ability to capture the essence of the Dutch countryside, with its peaceful atmosphere and harmonious balance between natural elements.
