From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Landscape with View of a Farmer's Cottage is a 1551 ink by Hanns Lautensack, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a simple house tucked between two tall trees. The trees have thick trunks and lots of twisting branches, with small leaves or buds along them. The house looks old, with a slanted roof and a few windows—one with a person peeking out. The ground is covered in bushes and plants, making everything look a little wild. The artist used a technique that creates fine, scratchy lines, almost like writing with a sharp tool. This method lets them show lots of detail in the trees and bushes. Look up etching to see how artists make prints like this.
