Landschap met bomen en struiken 1890 - 1946

This is Cornelis Vreedenburgh's "Landschap met bomen en struiken," or "Landscape with trees and shrubs," created with a pencil on paper. Vreedenburgh was active in a period marked by significant social change, including shifts in class structures and increasing urbanization. The drawing portrays a landscape with trees and shrubs, rendered with delicate lines that capture the nuances of light and shadow. It invites us to consider our relationship with nature. How do we interact with nature, both physically and emotionally? How do we see ourselves within it? Vreedenburgh's landscapes often evoke a sense of nostalgia, reflecting a longing for a simpler time. The work also seems to echo broader societal questions about progress, tradition, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
