Seuen burre c. 16th century

Editor: Here we have "Seuen burre" by Hans Collaert the Elder. It's a very detailed landscape, all in monochrome. It gives me a sense of a well-ordered world. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Well, my imagination takes me to a dreamscape, doesn't it? This isn't just a landscape, it’s almost a stage. The trees frame the scene, inviting us into a story. Look closely at how the artist uses the light and shadow to give such depth. Editor: I never thought of it that way! Thanks for that perspective. Curator: It's like peeking into someone's memory, isn't it? Art can be a mirror, reflecting not just what is, but what could be.
