Hilly Landscape
1650
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with rolling hills and a winding path. Three people walk along the dirt trail, two leading a small herd of sheep while one person stands nearby. Trees and bushes line the path, and the sky is soft and pale, blending into the distant hills. The artist used gentle shading to create depth, especially in the shadows under the trees. The sheep and people are small compared to the big landscape, making the scene feel open and peaceful. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this painting in person.
