Mountainous Landscape 1660 - 1685

"Mountainous Landscape" is a 17th-century oil painting by Jan Hackaert, a Dutch artist known for his landscape works. This particular painting depicts a serene scene of a mountain range, with a winding road, a small river, and a few figures in the foreground. The soft, earthy colors and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of tranquility and depth. The composition uses a classic Dutch landscape formula, with distant mountains, a prominent tree, and small figures to provide scale and create a sense of space. This painting, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Hackaert's mastery of landscape painting.
