Landschap 1834 - 1911

"Landschap" is a simple yet evocative landscape drawing by Jozef Israëls, one of the prominent Dutch Realist painters. Created between 1834 and 1911, the work showcases Israëls' mastery of capturing atmospheric effects. Utilizing delicate strokes of charcoal on paper, Israëls portrays a distant horizon with hints of white clouds against a subtly shaded sky, hinting at the presence of land and water. Though minimal in detail, this sketch offers a glimpse into Israëls' artistic process and his ability to convey depth and emotion through subtle means. Today, this artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, one of the world's leading art museums, allowing viewers to experience the early stages of Israëls' artistic development.
