Aprilis (April) is a 1601 ink by Ludovico Mattioli, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a quiet, misty landscape with rolling hills and a winding river. Two small figures walk along the riverbank, one carrying a bundle, while trees and rocks dot the scene. The sky is faint, blending into the soft, hilly background. The word *Aprilis* suggests this might be part of a series showing seasons. The artist used fine lines to create texture, especially in the water and foliage. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
