1626
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Landscape with Soldiers is a 1626 by Pieter de Molijn, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a group of soldiers in a wooded area. Some are standing, others are resting or climbing a steep bank. Trees with thick trunks and tangled roots fill the scene, and a small stream runs along the bottom. The soldiers wear hats and carry weapons, while one group seems to be pushing a heavy log. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to create a sense of depth and movement. The rough texture of the trees contrasts with the smooth faces of the soldiers, adding to the drama.
