From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Southern Landscape is a 1750 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with a winding path through a rocky valley. Trees line the path, and a small group of people and horses are walking near a river. In the distance, a hill rises with a building perched on top, surrounded by more trees and misty hills. The artist uses soft, blended tones to create depth, especially in the shadows and light on the rocks and trees. This technique makes the scene feel calm and slightly mysterious. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
