Landschap bij maanlicht 1825 - 1882

"Landschap bij maanlicht" (Landscape by Moonlight), an etching by Dutch artist Jacobus Ludovicus Cornet (1815-1882), is a dramatic depiction of a moonlit landscape. The scene features a small village nestled along a river, a windmill in the distance, and a bridge in the foreground, all bathed in the soft glow of the moon. This print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Cornet's mastery of light and shadow, creating a serene and atmospheric scene reminiscent of Romanticism, a popular artistic movement of the 19th century.
