Landsbykirken i Lisse 1626 - 1629

"Landsbykirken i Lisse" is a detailed pen and ink drawing by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan van Goyen, created between 1626 and 1629. The drawing depicts a Dutch village with a church in the center, seen from a distance across a canal. The delicate lines of the drawing capture the quietness of the scene and the beauty of the landscape. van Goyen's mastery of atmospheric perspective is evident in the way he depicts the receding lines of the landscape and the soft, hazy light that bathes the scene. "Landsbykirken i Lisse" is an example of van Goyen's signature style, which is characterized by its precise detail and its ability to capture the essence of Dutch landscapes. The drawing is now held in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
