Hertog van Bracciano bij het Lago di Bracciano 1620s

Bartholomeus Breenbergh's "Hertog van Bracciano bij het Lago di Bracciano" from the 1620s is a delicate pen-and-ink drawing that depicts a serene landscape. The work features a vast lake, possibly Lago di Bracciano in Italy, with a distant town and a small boat in the center. In the foreground, figures are shown along the shoreline, suggesting a leisurely scene of people enjoying the outdoors. The drawing is characterized by its soft, flowing lines and a sense of tranquility, typical of Breenbergh's later work. The artist's keen observation of nature is evident in the detailed depiction of trees and the subtle gradations of light and shade. This work is a beautiful example of Breenbergh's ability to capture the essence of a landscape in a simple yet expressive manner.
