From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Hilly Landscape with Travelers on Foot is a 1625 ink by Jean Morin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a winding path through a hilly, wooded landscape. Two small figures walk along the trail, one ahead and one following. The trees have thick, tangled branches, and the sky is light but slightly cloudy in the distance. The artist used shading to show depth in the trees and hills, making them look solid and real. This is an etching, which means the image was carved into metal and then printed. Look up technique: etching to see how artists create these detailed lines.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
