Landschap met bomengroep 1855 - 1904

"Landschap met bomengroep" (Landscape with group of trees), an etching created between 1855 and 1904 by Dutch artist Arnoud Schaepkens (1816-1904), showcases Schaepkens' mastery of the landscape genre. This print, measuring just 86 mm by 180 mm, depicts a simple yet captivating scene of a cluster of trees set against a hazy sky, with a subtle foreground of gently rolling hills. The detail of the trees and the atmospheric quality of the sky capture the essence of the Dutch landscape and demonstrate Schaepkens' skilled use of line and light.
