Bergweg bij Brussel 1648 - 1671

"Bergweg bij Brussel" (Country Road near Brussels) is a 17th-century drawing by Jan de Bisschop, a prominent Dutch artist. The drawing, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures a picturesque country road winding through a landscape of trees, rocky outcrops, and a distant horizon. De Bisschop's use of brown washes creates a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow on the landscape. This drawing exemplifies the artist's mastery of landscape drawing, a key genre of Dutch Golden Age art.
