Engel bespeelt een lier in een landschap 1830

This engraving, "Engel bespeelt een lier in een landschap", was created by Philippus Velijn in 1830. It depicts a cherub playing a lyre in a landscape, a common motif in Dutch art symbolizing the beauty of music. The engraving, likely intended for an almanac, showcases Velijn's skillful use of line and detail to create a charming and evocative scene. The cherub's delicate features and the verdant landscape evoke a sense of peace and serenity, making this piece an engaging example of Dutch Romanticism. The piece is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
