Forest View with Mountains is a 1664 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a quiet forest scene with a winding path. A lone tree stands near the center, its branches reaching across the frame. In the distance, a rocky hill rises behind a cluster of small buildings, and the sky is heavy with clouds. The path leads to a tiny group of people near the bottom right—just a few figures with a horse. The lighting is soft, with no harsh shadows, giving the whole scene a calm, misty feel. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
