Arcadisch landschap 1715 - 1798

"Arcadisch landschap," a pencil drawing by Dionys van Nijmegen, depicts a serene landscape scene, likely inspired by the idealized landscapes of Arcadia. The drawing, created between 1715 and 1798, features a grove of trees in the foreground, with a distant cityscape visible beyond. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the classical elements of the scene, such as the urn on a pedestal and the figures in the foreground.
