Heuvelachtig landschap met rustende reizigers 1613 - 1695

This etching, created by Nicolas Perelle between 1613 and 1695, depicts a serene landscape with travelers resting. Perelle was a prolific French engraver known for his landscapes, and this artwork reflects his meticulous attention to detail. The composition showcases a hilly landscape with lush trees, a winding path, and a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff. In the foreground, travelers take a break, adding a human element to the otherwise idyllic scene. This print is a fine example of 17th-century landscape art, characterized by its realism and emphasis on natural beauty. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
