Landscape
1744
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Landscape is a 1744 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a quiet village by a river. People walk along dirt paths, some leading horses or pulling carts. A few dogs run loose, and a bridge crosses the water near a small waterwheel. Houses with thatched roofs line the street, and a church steeple rises in the distance. The artist used only black, white, and gray tones, giving it a monochrome, sketchy feel. The scene looks like a busy day in a small town, with everyone going about their work. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings like this.
