Three Travelers at the Foot of a High Rock c. 1645 - 1656

"Three Travelers at the Foot of a High Rock" is an etching created by Dutch artist Allart van Everdingen in the mid-17th century. This print depicts a dramatic landscape with a towering rock formation in the foreground, which is reminiscent of Everdingen's own travels through the Norwegian fjords. Three figures are depicted in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. The composition is balanced by a village in the distance, with the sky dominated by puffy clouds that create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This etching exemplifies the style of Dutch landscape art that was popular in the 17th century, known for its naturalistic depiction of natural scenes and attention to detail.
