Italiaans landschap is a 1668 oil by Willem de Heusch, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a few figures in the foreground. In the distance, a mountain range stretches across the horizon, with trees and foliage in the mid-ground. The sky above is cloudy, with the sun shining through the gaps. A man sits on a rock, while another man stands beside him, holding a long stick. A horse and cart are visible in the distance, adding to the sense of tranquility. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of peace and calmness. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. For more information on this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
