Arcadisch landschap met Janusbeeld 1781 - 1822

"Arcadisch landschap met Janusbeeld" is an etching by Dutch artist Hermanus Fock. This artwork, currently in the Rijksmuseum collection, captures a pastoral scene, depicting a group of figures resting amongst trees and a towering oak in the background. The print's delicate lines and shading evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony, characteristic of Dutch landscape art in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This artwork represents a shift towards a more naturalistic and Arcadian ideal, reflecting a growing appreciation for the beauty of nature and the simplicity of rural life during the period.
