From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Two Logs in the Water is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet river scene. Two logs float in the water, one near the shore. Trees line the banks, some bare, some with leaves. A few people stand near the logs, pointing or looking at them. The background has rolling hills and a small building in the distance. The artist used lines to show light and shadow. The trees and hills look rough, almost like they were scratched into the surface. Want to see how this was made? Look up etching.
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.
