View of the Rhine
1654
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
View of the Rhine is a 1654 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a quiet river scene with rolling hills in the distance. On the shore, a few small boats sit near rocks, and two people stand by the water. Trees line the riverbank, and a castle or church towers in the far background. The image looks like it was taken from a high vantage point, giving a wide view of the landscape. The lighting is soft, with shadows blending into the hills. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
