IJsbergen en ijsschotsen 1880

"IJsbergen en ijsschotsen" is a pencil drawing created in 1880 by Dutch artist Louis Apol, showcasing his mastery of depicting landscapes. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a series of icebergs and ice floes, likely inspired by Apol's travels or observations of the Arctic. The sketch-like nature of the drawing, with its loose lines and subtle shading, emphasizes the fleeting nature of the subject matter and the artist's quick and expressive style. This piece exemplifies Apol's interest in natural phenomena and his ability to capture the beauty and power of the natural world in a concise and evocative way.
