Landschaft mit Reiter
1850
From the collection of Art Collection of the University Göttingen
Landschaft mit Reiter is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting wood, held at Art Collection of the University Göttingen.
This painting shows a lone rider on horseback moving through a quiet, misty landscape. The sky is a mix of soft blues and yellows, with a large tree standing near the center. In the distance, a river winds through a valley dotted with small buildings and hills. The rider’s red coat stands out against the muted greens and browns of the scene. The brushwork is loose, giving the painting a sketchy, unfinished feel. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
