Landscape with Men Fishing is a 1544 ink by German 16th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a quiet river scene with two men fishing in the foreground. Behind them, a village with small buildings and a church sits on a gentle hill. Tall trees line the riverbanks, and a rocky mountain looms in the distance. The artist used thin lines and shading to create depth, focusing on nature’s details. The blue background makes the black ink stand out sharply. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
A German artist from the late 1500s drew lively scenes of knights clashing in parades and mock battles.
