An Extensive River Landscape is a 1759 ink by Alexander Cozens, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting presents a serene river landscape, with a prominent tree on the right side and a smaller one on the left. The river flows gently, flanked by rocky cliffs and mountains in the distance. In the foreground, a figure stands near the water's edge, adding a sense of scale to the scene. The artist's use of pen, black ink, and gray wash creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye into the tranquil atmosphere. The varnished finish adds a subtle sheen, enhancing the overall visual impact. If you're interested in exploring more works from this period, consider looking into the Baroque movement.
