1874
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Landscape (Paysage) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a dark, tangled forest with thick trees and bushes. A path winds through the middle, fading into shadow. In the background, a lone building and a mountain peek through the branches. The sky is faint but visible above the treetops. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, making the forest feel dense and mysterious. This style was common in etchings of the time. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Legros made prints like this.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
