Flusslandschaft mit Bauern is a 1766 oil by Jacob Philipp Hackert, a Rococo painting work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a large tree in the foreground, its branches stretching upwards and outwards. The tree's leaves are a vibrant yellow, while the surrounding foliage is a mix of green and brown hues. In the background, a body of water reflects the sky above, with a few birds flying overhead. To the right of the tree, a group of people are gathered, some sitting and others standing. They appear to be engaged in conversation, with one person holding a basket. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the warm sunlight casting a gentle glow over the scene. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
