1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Chapel is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet forest scene with tall, skinny trees and a small, simple chapel nestled among them. The chapel has a steep roof and a tiny tower, while the ground is covered in bushes and rocks. A lone figure stands near the trees, holding a staff, looking small against the dense forest. The artist used sharp lines and shading to make the trees and chapel stand out. This style was common in the 1600s for creating detailed landscapes.
