Gezicht op het dorp Passy 1631 - 1661

"Gezicht op het dorp Passy" (View of the village of Passy) is an etching by the French artist Israel Silvestre, dating from between 1631 and 1661. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a panoramic view of the village of Passy, located near Paris. Silvestre's meticulous detail captures the rolling hills, a small village nestled amongst them, and a winding river in the foreground. His precise lines and delicate shading give the etching a sense of depth and realism, making it a fine example of 17th-century landscape art.
