From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Landscape is a 1550 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a quiet riverside scene with ruins and old stone walls. A few people walk near the water, while a big, gnarled tree stands on the right. The background has a distant town and hills, all painted in soft, muted colors. The artist used gentle shadows to give depth to the scene, especially under the tree’s branches. The ruins look weathered, almost forgotten over time. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works in other paintings.
