Gezicht op het dorp Commissey en de omgeving van Tanlay 1631 - 1661

This etching by French artist Israel Silvestre depicts a panoramic view of the village of Commissey and the surrounding landscape of Tanlay. Created between 1631 and 1661, the artwork showcases Silvestre’s mastery of perspective and detail, capturing the village, a bridge spanning a river, and the distant landscape. The work is a prime example of 17th-century landscape art, emphasizing the natural world and its inhabitants, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the era. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this small but impactful piece.
