1774
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Liber Veritatis: No. 25, A Mountainous and Wooded Landscape with Shepherds Playing and Goats Browsing is a 1774 by Richard Earlom, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet countryside scene with shepherds tending to goats. Trees line a path, and a small stream runs at the bottom. People are scattered—some standing, others sitting near the water, while goats graze or rest. The artist added fine details like the folds in the shepherds’ clothes and the texture of the trees. The print was made in 1774, capturing a peaceful moment in nature. Next, check out the technique called *chiaroscuro*.
Richard Earlom (1743–1822) was a British artist, born in London.
