1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Cart in a Narrow Pass is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a dark, tangled forest with a winding path. A lone cart is stuck halfway up a steep, rocky slope, pulled by a horse. Trees crowd the scene, their branches twisting together, while a small building peeks through the leaves in the distance. The artist used shading to make the scene feel dense and shadowy. The lines are precise but busy, creating a sense of depth and struggle. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Allaert van Everdingen (Dutch pronunciation: ; bapt. 18 June 1621 – 8 November 1675 (buried)), was a Dutch Golden Age painter and printmaker in etching and mezzotint.
