From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Swine Herd near a Chapel is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a single man herding pigs near a small stone chapel. The man has a long stick and wears simple clothes. The chapel has a low roof and one small arched window. Van Everdingen often drew rural life with quiet details. The pigs look muddy and tired. The chapel seems almost forgotten, far from any village. It feels like a frozen moment in the 1600s. Check the details at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
