1650
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Cottages at the Bank 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 two small wooden houses nestled among trees. A winding river cuts through the middle, surrounded by rocky banks and dense foliage. The sky above is light, with soft clouds and a few birds flying. The artist used fine lines to create depth, making the trees and houses look detailed yet simple. This style was common in the 1600s for capturing nature’s calm. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made 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.
