"Landschap met wandelaars" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan van Almeloveen, created in 1683, shortly before his death. The print depicts a picturesque landscape with a winding path leading to a distant village nestled among hills. Several figures walk along the path, their small scale emphasizing the vastness of the countryside. This work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's penchant for realistic depictions of nature, a genre known as "landschap" - a hallmark of Dutch art during the period. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, showcasing a prominent example of Dutch landscape art from the 17th century.
