Landscape with a Meadow and a Village Church is a 1615 ink by Velde, Esaias van de, I, a Baroque work, depicting Grote Kerk, held at National Gallery of Art.
A flat meadow fills most of the image. A dirt path cuts through tall grass toward a small church. Its white walls and red roof glow softly in morning light. This is an etching—a print made by scratching lines into a metal plate. The artist used drypoint too. That means he scratched directly into the plate with a needle to create fuzzy, velvety lines. Try making your own drypoint at home. Or visit the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
