Roman Landscape is a 1645 ink by Gaspard Dughet, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a serene Roman landscape, with a prominent tree standing in the foreground on the left side. The tree's branches stretch upwards, while its roots are partially visible in the water below. In the distance, a bridge spans the width of the image, with a figure standing on it. The sky above is filled with clouds, and the overall atmosphere is one of tranquility. The artist's use of etching techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in the image, with the lines and shading adding to the overall mood. The landscape is rendered in a range of tones, from the dark shadows of the tree to the lighter hues of the sky. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this beautiful example of Baroque art.
Gaspard Dughet (1613–1675) was a French artist, born in Rome.
