1700
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Fishermen at the Tiber, near the Soracte is a 1700 ink by Jan Both, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet riverbank scene with three men working near the water. One man is pulling a net, another stands on the shore, and a third holds a horse. In the background, a village sits on a hillside, with trees and distant mountains. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel alive. This style was common in the Baroque period. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Both made detailed prints.
Jan Dirksz Both was a Dutch painter, draughtsman, and etcher, who made an important contribution to the development of Dutch Italianate landscape painting.
