From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Fisherman's Hut is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet wooded scene with a small hut in the center. The hut has a simple roof and a few trees growing close around it. In the foreground, bushes and rocks fill the space, while the background has more trees and a faint sky. A few birds are scattered around, and a small boat rests near the bottom right. The artist used fine lines to create depth, making the trees and bushes look textured. This kind of detailed printmaking was common in the 1600s. Next, look up 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.
