Rotslandschap met antieke tempel 1634 - 1693

This etching by Jonas Umbach, created between 1634 and 1693, depicts a landscape with a ruined temple. It shows a deep gorge with a stream flowing through it and a crumbling temple perched high above. The artist's meticulous use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the rocky landscape. The scene is reminiscent of the Italian landscapes popular during the 17th century, showcasing the artist's interest in the classical past. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Umbach's skillful use of etching techniques and his interest in depicting picturesque landscapes.
