1626
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Landscape with Two Peasants Conversing is a 1626 by Pieter de Molijn, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white sketch shows two people standing under a small wooden shelter in a forest. One holds a walking stick, and both seem to be talking. Trees with twisted branches surround them, and the ground is covered in bushes and rocks. The shelter looks like a simple, temporary structure—maybe for resting or hiding from rain. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement in the trees and bushes. Next, check out Baroque to see how this style used drama and everyday scenes like this one.
Pieter de Molijn (6 April 1595 in London – 23 March 1661 in Haarlem) was a Dutch Golden Age painter and engraver of English birth and Flemish descent.
