Landschap bij maanlicht 1825 - 1882

"Landschap bij maanlicht" (Landscape by Moonlight) is an etching by Dutch artist Jacobus Ludovicus Cornet, created between 1825 and 1882. The artwork depicts a nocturnal scene with a village or town nestled amongst the hills, bathed in the soft glow of the moon. The artist's use of delicate lines and tonal variations evokes a sense of quiet mystery, capturing the ethereal beauty of a moonlit night. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Cornet's mastery of the Romantic style and his fascination with capturing the fleeting moments of nature.
