Komponierte Landschaft mit Jägern is a 1763 oil by Johann Balthasar Bullinger, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting presents a serene landscape, featuring a winding river that flows from the left side of the image towards the center. The riverbank is dotted with trees, while a figure stands on the right side, gazing out at the scene. In the background, rolling hills stretch towards the horizon, set against a light sky. A closer look reveals the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume. This is evident in the way the trees and hills are rendered, with areas of deep shadow punctuated by patches of light.
